Re: Official Review: My "Enemy" in Vietnam" by Billy Springer
The simple but descriptive recounting of his experiences really made this book memorable. I’m so glad he shared his perspective.AvidBibliophile wrote: ↑09 Oct 2021, 15:22 It sounds like Springer effectively described how the intersection of the civil rights movement and the Vietnam War affected him personally, and the racial taunts and retaliation that so many experienced during that era must have been crushing, to say the least. I’m sure the added illustrations also gave this one a uniquely memorable quality as well, so thank you for providing such an insightful and helpful analysis of this title!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and your visit. It’s always good to see you!

One of the things I liked most about this book was the simple but effective way the author shared his stories. It was an eye-opening experience for me: it was more about human interactions than war strategy.SamaylaM wrote: ↑14 Oct 2021, 01:51 I wouldn't normally feel too sure about books like this one but your review was extremely appealing and detailed. It does make me curious to learn about a different experience of an American soldier in the Vietnam War. Thank you for a proficient and wonderful review!
