Bringing To Light A Different Perspective Of Vietnam War,
By
This review is from: REMFReturns, The (Paperback)
This is a book that is essential to put all facets of what the Vietnam war was about in perspective. It takes the reader on a day to day journey of a clerk stationed at Long Binh. There is sly wit to his wiry remarks regarding his often boring duties such as making coffee, burning trash, and typing endless 'make-work' reports. The reader will often wonder where the message is, but that is not the true point of why the author wrote this book. It is his statement, his realistic reality, taken from his diary, that makes it fill the totally ignored jobs thousands of GI's performed in the Vietnam war zones. Not a book for the 'John Wayne' type, but the ending is probably so unusual that you just want him to continue the story. It is certainly not boring to read and readily identifies with the language and music of the 60's. If you served in Vietnam, you will probably get some chuckles out of it, and make you remember little things that you thought forgotten. Well done, different, and necessary to preserve a piece of history that shows what the men did in the rear areas in Vietnam. Sincerely, Franklin D. Rast, author, 'Don's Nam,' and 'Ghosts In The Wire.'
