I really loved this book. The author gave an indepth explanation of war. Racism was a major theme if this book. I would recommend this book to lovers of war and also non-fiction books.

To those who love nonfiction, historical and war related books, this book would be the best. It's basically talking about the author and his experience during the war.

The author spoke about the incidence that happened during the Vietnam war. It has so much information because he (the author) was there himself. Though he didn't focus on the brutality like every other war genre novel. It's an interesting discovery.

I think the descriptive nature of this book is what draws me, trying to explain one's experience in such details is definitely something to commend..the author definitely did a good job not just by writing a different and almost completely ignored aspect of war but in giving a broad insight of racism.

War always has some fear surrounding it and that is justifiable as war is not nice. The author provided a vivid description of war as it happened in Vietnam. His experience was scary and worth reading about.

As a dedicated war story enthusiast, I thoroughly enjoyed Billy Springer's take on the often inaccurately told and controversial Vietnam war. The book also crucially notes prevailing societal ills such as racism. A wonderful read in deed.

Exactly what I think too. I love how the author didn't emphasise the brutality of the war but rather spoke more about the racism that happened then.

The author discusses a new perspective of the Vietnam war that wasn't so much talked about. Those who enjoy history will find this book very interesting.

This book brings forward a very real representation of the victims of a war especially of those suffering due to their racial origin. It had been really insightful into the lives of the people stuck in a war. I would definitely recommend this book to others.

The book itself was quite educative although not the kind of book I would normally like to read, but it was worth the shot. The author did a good job writing about his experiences in his own very unique way. I would recommend this book to people who enjoy reading the non fiction genre with themes of racism and war.

It is a remarkable book. Being a fan of history and non-fiction this book just falls in line with my preferences. A book about the Vietnam war like this is timeless. Great work!

I liked this book from its implicit description of the Vietnam War. Just by not judging a book by its cover, this book presents the notion that external descriptions of war fail to provide the full details and leave out important information.

My Enemy in Vietnam is a valuable story because it gives a different perspective based on the author's experience. The topic of racism addressed in the book is still relevant to modern times as well. I recommend this novel to anybody who enjoys reading about history.
Books are a unique form of accessible magic. Reading is required for those who wish to rise above the mundane. If you dislike reading, it's most likely because you haven't found the right book.

I really loved and enjoyed everything about this book. The author did a good job in it. I even learned a lesson from it. I got to learn about the Vietnam war. I got to see things from the author's point of view. I also like how the author developed the characters. I didn't detest anything about this book
