I read this once. Then I went out & bought it & read it again. I have since read it again & it will never be rid of. Written in a series of short interviews with the men & women who were there from the medics to the grunts & everyone in-between. One of the most powerful insights into a period that changed a generation. Terrifying & horrific. Treacherous & forgotten. This is a truly very, very good book. Very powerful .
