REVIEWS
"Speak[s] more accurately and eloquently about the war than the millions of words already published by novelists and pundits." (TheCapital Times)
"A superb book that should have an appeal not just to residents of Wisconsin but to the 2.5 million Americans who served, and to anyone interested, in the Vietnam War." (Indiana Magazine of History)
