Title: Fine young men we come to care about.
Review: Vietnam has faded to an abstraction in the common perspective. Sacrifices, horrors and lunacy are trivialized and reduced to senseless idiom. Nothing is real.Without preaching or explaining, this book simply takes the reader there, unlike anything I have ever read about any war. It's called a novel, but it reads as truth -- almost a personal journal. Nothing is spared. Crittenden made me care about these men and their condition, and wonder how they lived it, as half a World away we sat contented watching edited, manipulated two-dimensional image-bites on a 20" screen.If you care about what happens to young men thrust into the face of violent death by whatever political inanity happens to govern at the moment, and the split second survival choices they are forced to make and pay for for the rest of their lives, buy this book -- then pass it to a friend.
