This is definitely on my reading list. I'm glad to know that it's not fast-paced as it's a difficult subject. Congratulations on BOTD!

It sounds interesting and being slow-paced will help in immersing myself in the book, hopefully the errors get corrected soon. Thanks for the wonderful review

This seems like a really great study about the many dimensions of war, with particular emphasis on the horror. It's a shame about the errors and the editing of the book. Thanks for the great review!

Thanks for the review. The book is interesting as it sheds light on the lives of soldiers and how they suffer from trauma and their quest for survival despite the presence of death everywhere.

I read somewhere that war is a staged conflict and stems up from the desire to conquer and rob. In the middle ages soldiers went to war voluntarily because they wanted the money. Current conflicts involve young men and women who have no idea what are the primary objectives of the conflict they are risking their lives for. Furthermore, most do participate just like the janitor who cleans the rooms in a hotel without having a single idea about the hospitality industry and his role in it. Great story and congratulations to the author.

The scars of war are everything one may want to know about the military. One can understand what these men in uniform go through during wartime. Congrats on this review of the book of the day. Well, I hope that the insight on the errors in this book will aid the author to reprint corrected versions of the book.
An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

The author authentically described the typical war atmosphere. I like how the writer described the nerve-wracking scenes. Still, I think a book of this type would be more suited to a fast-pace plot.

The book is a historical fiction about the Vietnam war. It reveals the sordid truth of what soldiers at war go through during the war,and even after. A book for readers who have a thing for history and war stories.

I’m not interested in reading this book. I’ve heard enough about wars from members of my family who were involved in several.

I don't read books on war, so I'll be skipping this one. However, this could be a perfect read for people who like war stories. Your comments about the errors/required editing are very useful. Thank you for your review!

I can't stomach the horrors of real-life stories, especially in a war setting, so I will have to pass. Thanks for the heads up.

I enjoy historical fiction but not of war stories. I'll pass, although I'm sure lovers of the genre will enjoy reading. Thanks for the review.
