Review of From Hell to Home

Cheryl Erickson · Post by **Cheryl Erickson** » 18 May 2023, 20:24

This a historical fiction story based on Corporal James Coleman's experience during the Vietnam War. He was brought back to life after being declared killed in action. Then he recuperates and continues as a CIA agent in the Marines. But I am not sure why he wasn't allowed to return to his fiancée and family back home. It is an intriguing story line. Terrific book review!

This sounds like a great historical fiction. I haven't read many war stories but I'm curious to see what James does with his second chance at life.

It is the third installment in a historical fiction series about the Vietnam War.

Those who followed the series and fans of this genre might want to look into it.

‪What a great start to the book with someone close to the story in a body bag! From there I was hooked . A great action packed story that will keep you tiring the page . If you like military style books this is the one for you. ‬

Vietnam stories are very frightening to me as they are so real. I wonder how often someone who they thought dead is really alive! Scarry.

The Vietnam War isn’t really my era when it comes to historical fiction. The book sounds intriguing overall, and I have enjoyed one short story collection about the Vietnam War in the past, but I don’t think this is really my cup of tea. Thank you for the helpful review.

I curious to read how James even survived the gunshot to the head in the first place. This truly sounds like an intriguing book and I think the flash backs he experience is a perfect touch, this surely helps the reader to connect the dots.
Definitely adding this to my WTR list. Thanks for a great review.
