Good Comprehensive guide, August 27, 1998

This review is from: Vietnam Veteran Films (Hardcover)
This book, written by a vet, is an good overview of the genre of Vietnam Veteran films. After reading this one will realize exactly how stereotyped Vietnam Vets have been over the years. These depictions (crazed nuts, maladjusted losers, one man armies) are those that most likely escape most film goers. Another interesting aspect of the book is that the author breaks with other film critics and gives a good mark to the much-slammed John Wayne movie, The Green Berets, since it was the only film for quite a while that portrayed Vietnam soldiers as anything other than psychos. This book is probably best suited for those interested in the Vietnam War and film buffs.
