5.0 out of 5 stars The Stone Throwers, January 3, 2007

By	Richard Adams "Rick A." (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book is interesting and deals with a topic that was once very political. Some of the actions of the subjects in the book too predictable. For people to have been so well trained, they do some very stupid things.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Stone Thowers, May 7, 2001

Jackie Kays has done an excellent job with this work. His experience as an police officer and military man are born out in this book. It will grab your attention and keep it. This is one of those books that when you start you must go to the end non stop. The topic is as current in the continued contriversy of the Vietnam War and those that did or did not serve there. He done good.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jackie R. Kays Works, November 9, 2006

By	Richard D. Nucifora - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've read both of Jackie R. Kays books. The stories get you from the beginning, and they both bring back memories. I'm proud that Jackie is a brother AP that served across the Pond. The book is well done and it can and should be enjoyed by everyone.
