Reading this book, I got angry all over again. The only thing we learn from history is that we don't learn from history. Ketwig has done a great job in bringing the entire era, the war, its historical setting, the culture and emotions of the times to life in a vivid and powerful way. Even those who fought in Vietnam will learn much and will be shockingly reminded of how huge that whole experience has been. Congrats to Ketwig on an interesting and important book. --Bobby Muller, founder of Vietnam Veterans of America and cofounder of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines, which won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997 A thoughtful mosaic on the war and its times. His trauma-honed insights range from the military-industrial-intelligence complex's killing of President Kennedy, who was committed to ending the war, to the corporate profiteering that fueled 12 more years of slaughter. Ketwig's work inspires us to seek the abolition of war. --James W. Douglass, author, JFK and the Unspeakable A thoughtful. Timely, and beautifully written book that every American should read if we are ever to learn from the disaster of Vietnam. --Ron Kovic, author of Born on the Fourth of July
