Better to be found
I found the writing to be a bit stiff and the overall book not that engaging. Too many pithy, non-exciting anecdotes. Unless you need to read a book about this man's journey's look elsewhere

A good man who can't hold a grudge.,
By Ryder (Denver, Colorado. USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vietnam in the Absence of War: One Immoral War, Two Revealing Bicycle Trips (Paperback)
I really liked this short read. Like most good stories, this one is a familiar subject, told from a different view. Namely, that of a soldier who went back simply as a man, and found a warm and friendly people waiting for him. If you are uncharmed by Mr. Rampton's dry wit, which can't hide anywhere in this book, you are made of harder stuff than this reader is.
