If you were there, you would appreciate its truism.
As member of the Garry Owen brigade during what turned out to be a very significant turning point in how the NVA entered the war, I can only say this book is as factual and realistic as any ever written. It encompasses the entire scope from the infantry mans actions and feelings of battle to the commanders combat, on the spot, decisions and actions during and after the battle. For the last 33 years I have had many thoughts and memories of the brave and heroic men who fought and died and those who survived. Thank you Gen Moore for your book.
Book has become required reading for my highschool students.
Three years ago I read the book. Today we have 150 copies of the book in our history dept. Each student in my American History class must read the book. For those of you who do not like the book come to my classroom and see the effect it has had on my students.General Moore is a true American patriot.O
Solomn Respect of True Honor and Gallantry
Words cannot capture it. It is ground more hallowed than the Holy See. I crossed the stream. If anyone knows Savage, tell him that his RTO would like to talk with him again. This book, as did the occasion it describes, changes people. Should be required reading in every high school.
