Title: Admittedly Fiction -- Yet Masked as Fact
Product review: The book does not convey a favorable picture of the Amercian Infantry Soldier in RVN, which is fine -- if that is the opinion of the author. However, in my view, he depicts an inaccurate portrait, using anecdotes purporting to reveal something of the true behavior and spirit of GIs. His caricatures include facts interwoven with factoids, falsefacts, and fiction -- enabling only those with relevant experience to discern what is what. In my view, the book is not representative. It appears to be an unfortunate product of the imagination of one who apparently does not understand the Soldiers he depicts; neither their actions nor their motivations.
