The author based this 1981 volume on firsthand interviews with numerous unnamed military personnel who served in the war. Although LJ's reviewer found the anonymity a drawback, he said that "Baker's work does give frightening insights into the continuing long-range effects of the Vietnam experience upon those who were the most intimately involved" (LJ 3/15/81).

Numerous people who experienced the Vietnam War firsthand share their stories in this oral history. Men and women, officers and draftees, prowar and antiwar veterans, all give personal accounts of the bloodshed they witnessed, and the horrifying circumstances they survived. Grunts recount losing their friends in combat; doctors remember the patients whose lives they desperately tried to save; soldiers try to understand how they could become willing participants in the slaughter of innocent civilians; and veterans, back in the US, discuss dealing with nightmares and a life far away from the constant presence of war.
The book is easy to understand and enjoyable to read. I was recently sounding off about the formulaic books where the Heroine meets an unknown guy, no idea who he is but they have gratuitous sex, cause well, cause they felt that electricity (aargh) and she inevitably is put into a position of royalty. I can't imagine a book that would be more helpful to a potential consultant. It's a shero's journey (or the beginning of one), written with heart and wit. dont buy it, they converted from PDF to text file, and did not correct mistakes made by machines. After hearing him speak I read this book. As it turns out, this is well worth the money. the thinnest book ive ever seen, super misleading.. The book will show the patient reader, better than any narrative history, the various positions about the nature of the American experiment early in our country's history. When Meaulne village blacksmith built the gate described by Sir Terence Conran he did not think his work would be famous in Nashvil
