Title: vietnam books--start here
Product review: this account of the vietnam war from a helicopter pilot's perspective is THE BEST book i have read about that war from anyone's perspective.the author does an excellent job of describing the combat action, but more importantly, he gets you right into the cockpit with him -first in flying school, then coming into a "hot" LZ when the intensity of feelings is almost unbearable.mason is that unusual combination of compelling writer with a compelling true story to tell.The sequel to this book-"chickenhawk-back in the world" is possibly even better! what happens when he gets back is maybe as much of a dangerous mission as any during the war. in the end the writer succeeds in the ultimat mission--letting you into his head.
