Review # 1 was written on 2016-12-16 00:00:00 Michael Quinney Although this book is great as a stand alone nonfiction, it is loaded with information to get you started for further research. It even has a complete list of those still unaccounted for. The anti-war movement, which is often overlooked, was also touched upon. From my personal experience of high school I believe that was organized and directed by the enemy. Yea, it sounds like the Nazi claim of stab-in-the-back from WWI, but what if it really was? Take the Tet Offensive for example. To the Communists it was a great military defeat, but on the political front a great victory. They could not beat the military in the field but then the military eventually were withdrawn because of it and other battles where Americans suffered casualties. The book also explains why the war could not be won. Anyway, the book was really good with lots of photos.
