4.0 out of 5 stars
Fast, easy read.,
This review is from: Hostile Fire: The Life & Death of First Lieutenant Sharon Lane (Hardcover)
I found the book an easy read, but had trouble getting a real feel for the horror of the war. I thought the book was a little short, perhaps because the author couldn't get any input from Sharon Lane, herself. Not as in-depth as I expected, but definitely worth reading if interested in women's roles in the Vietnam war.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Recommended, great book but not what I expected.,

This review is from: Hostile Fire: The Life & Death of First Lieutenant Sharon Lane (Hardcover)
I say GET the book and read it, you won't be sorry. Just don't go into it thinking your going to come out feeling like you knew Sharon or her family and friends, it lacks in this area.The book has a great deal to do with the hospitals the camp and how the war's events were unfolding. It also dealt with the medical personnel as a whole and their struggles. I was very mistaken in some of my history and Philip does a wonderful job of explaining these events. The book seemed to struggle to talk about Sharon herself, possibly because Sharon wasn't in the service for that long of a period, and during that time she up to 84 hours a week in. She worked all the time. Sharon's Character however was portrayed very well, just lacked the in-depth coverage. Some pictures but not nearly as many as I would have liked. I wanted to really get to know this family and their daughter more. Easy and enjoyable reading. I recommend it
