Review title: Did She Check Out the Stories?
Product review: I thought this was a good concept for a Vietnam experience book - about 20 oral interviews with women of various Vietnam backgrounds. However, I couldn't get through it. As anyone familiar with Stolen Valor by B. G. Burkett knows, there's an awful lot of lies out there which are represented as true Vietnam experiences. I got to the story from the lady who said it most disturbed her that "her general" and six other generals and aides were killed in her area. I think the history shows that only one general in total was killed in Vietnam. So, I don't believe the author/editor did any fact checking and I don't believe she had much of a knowledge base. In another story she referred to a "gunny" sergeant as a "gunship" sergeant (although she got it right in a later story).All in all I thought this was a pretty weak effort. The concept is still good, it just needs to be better handled.
