Growing up in Brooklyn, Rooney thought he was prepared for any experience or adventure that a war in S.E. Asia could bring. However, the innocence of youth is bliss, and his plan for life takes many twists and turns in Good, Better, Best. As he and his Airborne brothers face life's uncertainties together they live out a story of hardships, humor, and the ambiguities of life for American teenagers embrolled in war during one of the most controversial times in American history. The names have been changed to protect the innocent, but these events did happen and all the characters are real.

This review is from: Good, Better, Best: From the Streets of Brooklyn to the Jungles of Vietnam (Paperback)
Jim Bradley has written one of the better "personal accounts" of the Vietnam War I've read to include an excellent description of "Jump School" in the 60s.
A friend of mine, Drew Dix in his book "The Rescue of River City" gives us the Medal of Honor winner's perspective of war while Bradley provides us a view of war from the "regular guy" just trying to do the right thing under pressure and go home in one piece. Bradley's version of serving our nation during war represents a hundred thousand Americans who saw actual combat in Vietnam and he does it well, especially writing about the great men of the 173rd Airborne! Well Done--Bradley! Donald E. Zlotnik, Major (Ret.) Special Forces
