Most interesting, to my mind, are the reports from Vietnam itself, but the complicated situation at home is explored, as well. One particular story, Specialist 4/C Jack P. Smith's report on battle in the Ia Drang Valley, is one of the most dramatic expositions of combat I have read. Tom Wolfe, Neil Sheehan, Stanley Karnow, David Halberstam, Homer Bigart, and Bernard Fall also stand out. These two volumes are absolutely first-rate, and are sure to add measurably to our remembrance of the war.
