CAUTION: This book has horrifying segments. The entrancing writing style and amazing facts nevertheless make it easier to swallow the hair-raising scenes. Vietnam Veterans may want to seek supportive counseling while reading this book. Imagine young trainee medics working in Army psychiatry, dealing with mental patients coming from the war... then being sent to the war themselves, passing through the same mentally explosive process. Imagine being punsihed for all your good efforts, even at the constant threat of death from within the ranks. Imagine being a VICTIM OF VALOR. It is time we really appreciated what these young boys went through. You will never see another book so revealing and devastating, yet hopefully motivating toward positive treatment of these unsung heroes. See what it was REALLY like to serve a tour in the 'Nam!
