Reviews

Within the pages of this book, we truly get a candid look at war, patriotism, fear, and love... My culture will benefit immensely from these strong and compelling stories, but my hope is that all cultures of this incredible society we call America will read the oral histories of Chicano Vietnam veterans and their families and learn. Edward James Olmos, from the Foreword
