Mr. Wolff pulls no punches in this telling of his life during the vietnam war. He does not try to make him self look good, or defend his choices, just tell what happened. I was also very imprssed with his prose style, economical yet still vivid and moving.

Rambling disjointed thoughts of a biographical nature. It would have been easier to follow if there was some sequence , yet I still enjoyed it.

"A hell of a writer. Wolff writes such spare, whistling prose that you'd follow him anywhere, even into battle." Newsweek
