Reviews

These skillfully edited interviews [form] a vivid collage. Time Baker's text is studded by rootless 'I's' divorced from any condition except the shared experience of war... The most convincing and horrifying book the war has produced. Newsweek Nam easily stands with the best descriptive accounts of the war-Ron Kovic's Born on the Fourth of July, Philip Caputo's A Rumor of War, and Michael Herr's Dispatches. Baker presents the story as a smoothly flowing chronological narrative, filled with descriptions, which ring brutally true, of what went on in Vietnam. The New York Times
