Review:
Of all the works on the Vietnam War - fiction and nonfiction - this is the big one Studs Terkel No-one has attempted what Christian Appy has achieved in Vietnam. The subtitle is accurate: not both sides, but all sides - South, North, military, civilian, protestor, soldier, commander, observer, journalist, photographer, poet, novelist, exile, refugee, survivor - even the dead, remembered by the living. Brilliant and painful, this is the most vivid account of the Vietnam War I have ever read. If I were to recommend a single book on the war it would be this one Marilyn Young As a Vietnam combat veteran who participated in most of the major historical battles of 1968, I'm understandably ambivalent about reading Vietnam books. Vietnam is different. It is an even-handed approach to a still controversial and divisive subject. The overall effect of listening to different voices on the same sore subject is eye-opening and revealing. At the end, I for one felt more than satisfied because I had reached a greater understanding of the event that changed my life and the life of a nation Nelson De Mille A fascinating insight...this is a masterfuly constructed, must-read book Metro The most rounded account of the Vietnam War we have seen yet London Lite
