pickVietnam was truly a helicopter war - this is an account of a highly decorated chopper pilot, Ron Alexander, and his experiences rescuing injured soldiers from the hostile battlefield in his Huey. I was not fond of the audiobook‘s narrator. It happens

pickUnbearably tense story about two brothers, Jonah, 16, and Simon, 14, who have left home for Arizona where they hope they will be reunited with their older brother, Matt, who has been fighting in the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, they get picked up by Mitch and Lilly and things start to go horribly wrong. I really liked the main characters and their predicament was nail biting.
"This is a public relations problem not a military one," pronounced McNamara.
pickThis book was on the recommended list in Kristin Hannah‘s book The Women. It was free on Audible. Diane was the driving force for the creation of the women‘s Vietnam memorial in Washington DC. These women raised their own funds to have it built. Very good memoir ❤️💔🩷

so-soThis book for me is a tough one to review because I don‘t know how I feel about it. To be honest, the theme of intergenerational trauma, immigration and traditional parenting is covered really well in the book and it‘s something I could relate with but the book lacks consistent storytelling and a solid storyline. Which book left you indecisive? #immigration #Vietnamwar #trauma #parenting

pickRaw. Brutal. Sad. Highly emotionally charged account of serving in Vietnam. A love story of boys becoming men. A bitter love story and one that can't be forgotten. This is a must read non-fiction. This is a story of love.
