Title: Don't Bother
Review: I had a lot of problems with the book. It looks like the writer did a bunch of interviews and then wrote the book and guessed at the spelling of Vietnamese names. Most of the book seems to be recreated conversations that we are suppose to believe were repeated word-for-word as they were spoken in 1975. Very tedious reading that including things such as what type of sandwich a Marine was eating when an alleged verbatim conversation is detailed, along with the color of the soda can and that a female State Department employee took one of the Marine's potato chips during the conversation. Most of it is like reading a screen play instead of what is supposed to be "The True Story of the US Marines Last Days in Vietnam." With so many errors regarding the names, among other things, I developed doubts about the accuracy of everything in the book. I regret having purchased the book as it is among the worst I have read about the war.
