Review: True letters from a soldier
Rating: 4 out of 5

I would probably give this more like 3.5 stars, though I did enjoy it. The letters are the nearly daily life of the author while in Vietnam. Unlike the majority of the books like this, they were not edited to just have the fighting and action. The author left in the everyday regular conversations that one has with their spouse. Talking about sending a money order, asking about job opportunities, even wondering how his tools were doing back home. I did find myself sometime reading quickly over these parts of the letters as I got deeper into the book, but none-the-less, it certainly added to the story. I hope that it was able to help the author deal/reflect on his time and sacrifice in Vietnam.
