I always have the impression that history is boring. This book proved to me that it is not necessarily the case.I started to read the first page, then the second, then the third...  the story is exciting, full of thrilling suspense, when reading it I had the feeling that I was really there on the battlefield.  The author successfully created characters that are vivid and memorable.  The emotions and attitudes are well presented, it’s like you can feel the tension when you read the argument between two characters.I believe the author should be very passionate about Vietnam War and particularly the battle of Khe Sanh.  You can find reference to maps, charts and even real airplane model numbers.  The author must have gathered a considerable amount of historical data, and he managed to present them well to give an incredible account of the battle.Overall, this is a well written historical fiction that deserves a five star rating.  For history-fanatics, particularly those who are interested in the Vietnam War, this is a good addition to your bookshelf.  For fiction-lovers, you won’t feel boring when reading this exciting story.
