The unique point Peter Rush captured was the real form of the government, how they don’t care about their citizens, and anyone that goes against them is their enemy. It’s crazy though. I love how Peter portrayed his idea.

The internal war between the government and some of its citizens and among citizens.

The book just talked vaguely about the war. It didn't address the most important thing we all wanted to know: the cause of the war. The part about drafting kids for the war was accurate.

I saw the conflict as nothing more than a misuse of authority; it lacked any distinguishing qualities.

One unique fact that I saw from this book is that in the Vietnam war there was the killing of citizens that the government does not provide clear proof of why it happened due to the corrupt system among the forces.

The unique fact that was captured by the author is the fact he portrayed that the war was uncalled for and unnecessary.

The way the author narrates the war events was eye-opening, I've never read a book about war and this was informative enough

What I see in this book that is unique to the WW and verifiable is the fact that the government lay tensions in the heart of the citizen. Just as it is in the nook, the Wild World, so it is in the other WW novels also. This means children endangering is one fact that is unique about WW in the book.

The best fact that stood out to me was the behavior of the government towards her citizen. It made me realize that it’s the same everywhere.

There’s no unique fact to me. I just love how the author really depict what really happens during these times. The infringement on women’s right, that’s if they have any, the killing of citizens, and the brutality were really explained.

from my own point of view, I don't believe this is a unique event, but the way the author describes it helped me understand how the war affected everyone. I got shivers listening to him to describe the students shouting. It's not unusual; numerous books have been written on it, but I had never actually experienced it.

I don't know anything about the vietnamese war (other than what I have read about in this book). However, I was blown away by the facts presented in this book. If they were true, then I cannot imagine the pain those people were forced to live through.
