Review:

Mike Barnicle

"The Boston Globe"

This is an amazing piece of work that could make you cry over descriptions of bravery so bold and so big...It is about the soul of a nation...This is a stunning book.

Mark Shields

"The Washington Post"

If you want to read a terrific book about courage and cowardice, honor and betrayal, suffering and death, and the indomitability of the human spirit, get "The Nightingale's Song."

David Halberstam

author of "The Best and the Brightest"

"The Nightingale's Song..." has an almost hypnotic authority all its own and belongs on the same shelf as those classics of the Vietnam War, Neil Sheehan's "A Bright Shining Lie," Philip Caputo's "A Rumor of War," and Harold G. Moore and Joseph Galloway's "We Were Soldiers Once...and Young."
