I purchased this book because I work with so many Vietnam vets. Thanks for offering this wonderful resource. I have enjoyed the book.

I will never detract from anybody who served our country during those turbulent times self included. The book is interesting as are some of the characters profiled by Stevenson. His research is extremely authentic. I was left with the feeling though that many of these "succesful" men would have been just that with or without a Vietnam as a springboard to their success. It actually left me feeling somewhat envious knowing I never had the means to do some of the same....though not necessarily in Southeast Asia.

I am a Vietnam War history buff, but I just couldn't get into this book at all. Not because the material isn't good, it is just presented poorly.

I am an avid reader of Vietnam War history and was very disappointed in this book. I thought it was about men who stayed behind during the war and it isnt. It is about a few folks who went back after coming home. It is interesting at times and one or two of the characters are worth the read but overall found it to be misleading and uninteresting at best. Only if youre a serious reader of history does this make it interesting.
