I don't know much about the Vietnam war, so I'm hoping this book might give me some insight into it.
Congratulations, BOTD.

Billy Springer's book, My "Enemy" in Vietnam, recounts the author's experiences as a US soldier during the Vietnam War. Unlike popular works, this one tells the story of the Vietnam War from the perspective of a black soldier. Readers who enjoy historical fiction would love this. Thank you for the review!

The different perspectives on the Vietnam war is very intriguing; I'm sure these stories will give readers a broader understanding of life during the war. Congratulations on BOTD!

War is commonly the option chosen to settle a dispute by aggressive minds. But the same war would have very different effects on different people. I would love to read a different side to the Vietnam war. Congrats on BOTD!!

I don't usually read books like this. But I can see its appeal among other readers. I think this book would provide a fascinating and real portrayal of the people who's in the Vietnam war.

The cover looks brutal but the plot looks interesting. I love history but I don't know much about Vietnam War. I hope this helps me more about it. I'd love to add this on top of my shelf and read this sometime in the future Thanks

Great and honest review done. A good story is the one that has a flow and may use flashback to connect the past with the present. Lack of chronological order may put off so many readers.

This book would enrich the readers with the author's experiences in the Vietnam War. However, I do not wish to read war-related books, hence will pass this one. Thanks for the review!

Wars only create more problems for everyone. So, it's important to know the truth from people who endured the pain first-hand. Thanks to the author and vet. Billy Springer for this book.

Interesting characters. Interesting plot. The title is intriguing. It made the story more engaging despite a few errors mentioned in the review. The author's way of narrating the events is evocative.
Reading is a journey to the world.
