Title: The voices in these interviews sound honest and real
Review: This book is very much a modern day "Los De Abajo." Los De Abajo was the first book written about the Mexican Revolution, using the language of those who fought in the battles. In Soldados, Charley Trujillo also captures the language and feel of the Chicano soldier who survived Vietnam. From truck drivers to infantrymen, these voices tell stories that only Vietnam veterans can tell. Trujillo made a valiant attempt to let the sounds of the voices flow in their natural state, and he edited little, so the words sound as if they come from one who stands on a street corner, talking to whomever will listen. Read this book and get a whole new side of the Vietnam war. Read this book and see the committed, dedicated side of a community that has contributed to the creation of the United States for over two hundred years.
