I loved this book.  It brought back those years of the war to me.  Although this book is clearly fiction, there was enough "truth" in it to help one understand so much about the war. Names of individuals and towns are fictionalized.  However the timeline and warfare of fighting a losing battle came through clearly.  I lived through the Vietnam War here stateside.  My fiance' was killed in that war.What I did find is why so many vets don't talk much about the war that they fought.  There was indeed so much death, and I remember stories of the rain, the wet, the jungle and the leeches.If only those that make the decision to go to war can understand the devastation.  They need to think twice about the families that are effected.  Someone is going to die.  Unfortunately, it is never the guys in Washington.
