Too verbose and no excitement in the writing. . As a Vietnam Veteran who was there in 1963 the flavor of the writing was drab and did not convey what was really going on from the perspective of the ordinary GI. Yes, there were some historical facts and biographical info that was interesting but something was missing. I read about 25 pages and gave up
NEG
