FEATURED BOOK

by Charlene Edwards

Voices from Vietnam: The Tragedies and Triumphs of Americans and Vietnamese-Two Peoples Forever Entwined By the Legacy of War

A magnificent achievement.  The author made multiple trips to Vietnam and around the states to interview and photograph her subjects.  This book covers the men and women from both sides and is something special in the literature of the war.  This is one for your bookshelf.  2002

Anton, Frank and Tommy Denton
Why Didn't You Get Me Out? : Betrayal in the Viet Cong Death Camps : The Truth About Heroes, Traitors, and Those Left Behind

This book is very popular with visitors to this website.  If you have heard Anton speak, he tells an incredible story.  We knew where he was held in South Vietnam.

    Live from the Battlefield : From Vietnam to Bagdad, 35 Years in the World's War Zones

Atkinson, Rick
    The Long Gray Line

An interesting story of the first class at West Point that knew Vietnam was on their post-graduation orders. Thirty officers from the class of 1966 died in the war. The author follows the lives and careers of several classmates and it is a mournful story. Quite a bit of the book deals with the building of the Wall and I suspect a certain third party presidential candidate would just as soon have his part in it forgotten!
