review 1: Probably one of the best historically correct novels about the war in Vietnam. Extremely well researched. I was in college during most of this war and reading this book as to why we were there in the first place was a real eye-opener for me. I knew so many people who were affected by this war...several who died there as well. Glad I read it. It is a 900 page book but the plot moves quickly and it is one that I couldn't put down ....reading into the wee hours. I highly recommend this book. You get the history wrapped up in a novel.
review 2: I LOVED this book. As someone who grew up in the 60's and 70's, I had snippets and impressions of the complicated relationship between the US and Viet Nam. I love a historical fiction novel like this. When moments ... morestrike me I Google personalities or events included in the book and found often in this case that they relate to real people and occurrences, skillfully woven into the narrative, wrapped up in a compelling fictional story. I learned much from this book, about the complications of diplomacy and politics, greed and a desire for freedom. I am committed to reading more novels by this impressive author. less
