Thought provoking

Put yourself in the soldiers boots. Hear and be in the moment and feel the sense of fear, confusion and regret. Well done.

Doesn’t get better

The sense of fear, strength of love, realism of mortality, a soldiers dance between the abysmal void in death and the warm breath of life.
I read Fallen angels as a kid, and after living it again, it still stands at the top of my favorites list.
My only wish, I wish it was 20 hrs longer, I didn’t want it to end.
Highly recommend, 10/10, don’t miss out.
Damn good work

One of the classics!

This book had everything there was action, drama, and brotherly love. The book gave an inside look at what goes through the hearts and minds of soldiers when they are in battle and the close bonds that they make that can never be broken.

Good entertainment for Young Adults

I chose thisBook from the children and teens section of an ongoing sale. It gives one man’s perspective of the Vietnamese war. Although he is African American I don’t think he was representing African Americans in general. The story is laden with profanity and I don’t that is a good learning experience for children therefore I rated the story with 3 stars.

Absolutely Fantastic

Loved it was a great read. Gives a very real perspective to daily life for soilders in Vietnam.
