What do yo think about the cover? Do you think it is well related to the content?
At first it seemed like a somewhat chaotic scene but once I started reading it seemed very appropriate and I think it was a very good choice.

What do you think?

The cover was a little confusing to me at first, but after reading the book I think it displays the theme of racism seen throughout the novel very well.

I think the book not only talks about war, but a huge theme in this book would be racism. Though it may not be noticed at first glance, especially if you haven't read the book, I think the art cover centers more on racism. Would be great to have a cover that's easier to understand.

The cover is of a woman being beaten by a police man and a black man watches this. The cover is very detailed and significant. It clearly shows how blacks are treated and the fear of other black men to indulge because of it's outcomes.

Honestly, by just looking at the cover, I probably would have passed by this book altogether. I know, never judge a book by it's cover, but this cover did not make me interested in reading it's contents.

I actually like the art cover of the book. It is catchy and relates to the content. The appearance is well-balanced and proportionate. I also love the background color of it. Overall, the art cover is superb.

I didn't understand the cover of the book until I read the book. I think the cover is displaying rracism although the cover almost made me lose interest in reading the book

The cover made the story unpredictable, which is something I like. When I first looked at it, I thought a book was of a woman being oppressed, only to find it entails the events of a Vietnamese war.

I didn’t particularly like the cover, but did find it appropriate as the book deals with the topic of racism. Not only is she not white, but she is a woman. That brings to the forefront sexism as well.

To me, the cover was appropriately done. It portrays the book just as it should be portrayed. It gives the book the appropriate aura. It also gives the reader an understanding of what they are about to encounter.

I liked the book cover, although I couldn't tell what the story was about as well, that made me want to read it though, to understand what was going on and why the author choose such.

I think the cover of the book is certainly relevant and almost on the nose regarding the topic of racism in Vietnam. However, stylistically it is a little crowded and therefore is less impactful at a glance.

I think the cover of My Enemy in Vietnam is very appropriate for this book, which is largely about racism and abuses the author observed and experienced there. The cover depicts three people looking at a large billboard that the author saw in Vietnam.

The book details the racism endured and observed by a black GI while fighting in Vietnam. Therefore, the cover photo makes perfect sense, though it does seem quite unrelated to the title at first.

I like the cover, I think it screams the same the book does: "racism is here, it affects all of us" but based on the cover I:
1. Wouldn't have read it
2. Wouldn't guess what the book is about.

I see the racism in the cover, but is about a woman being beaten by a police officer, not a soldier in Vietnam, even if the message is the same, for me, the cover should be related to the title or contents of the book, as a whole (war, Vietnam, black soldiers)
