"“It would be a monumental task for Moore and Galloway to top their classic 1992 memoir, We Were Soldiers Once...and Young. But they come close in this sterling sequel...This book proves again that Moore is an exceptionally thoughtful, compassionate and courageous leader and a strong voice for reconciliation and for honoring the men with whom he served.” -- <strong><em>Publishers Weekly</em></strong><strong>(starred review)</strong> “An emotional follow-up to military lifer Moore and reporter Galloway’s intense 1992 telling of the Vietnam War’s first major battle between American and North Vietnamese troops. This time, the two, along with other American survivors of the fight, revisit the Ia Drang valley, scene of the bloody 1965 battle—accompanied by the Communist commanders and soldiers who were trying to kill them.” -- <strong><em>New York Post</em></strong> “A worthy and wise successor to one of the best books ever about combat in Vietnam.” -- <strong><em>Kirkus Reviews</em></strong> “We Are Soldiers Still tells the recent story of how Moore and Galloway organized meetings with the Vietnamese commanders they’d fought against so fiercely. . . . There is honor and a measure of military glory in the retelling and in the reunion.” -- <strong><em>Christian Science Monitor</em></strong> “Bookstores are filled with rows of books on leadership and management, but We Are Soldiers Still stands over the rest. Words like riveting and compelling hardly do the book justice...Moore’s reflections on leadership alone make this book worth its purchase price...Moore and Galloway’s latest volume is a moving tribute to the American soldier.” -- <strong>Army magazine</strong> ""A moving testimonial. . . .The memoir poignantly addresses the blindness of war and the compensatory urgings of the heart to be human."" -- <strong><em>Rocky Mountain News</em></strong>"
