Title: An Empty Story
Product review: The best word to describe this book is "limp". Chapter after chapter and vignette after vignette end with virtually no result or conclusion. A bunch of Naval Intelligence guys running around Vietnam hoping to gain some intelligence or to solve some criminal act by U.S. Navy or Marine Corps personnel -- only to have most of the situations they describe end up with "we wrote a report but it never went anywhere". For example, numerous fragging incidents are describe, but few if any culprits are caught -- as if it made a difference in the outcome of the war.The book is long on the difficulties of getting around Vietnam as a single operative, but short on any insight on what these men did or what they added to our forces there.This is just another group of people trying to get their sliver of the war out there. Not worth the money.
