Book Reviews of The Eaves of Heaven: A Life in Three Wars

Book Review: excellent book
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an excellent family memoir of Vietnam in the 20th century. I thought I understood the background to the Vietnam War, but reading this book I realised how little I knew. The author writes beautifully, and tells the history of his father's country through the stories of various family members and their friends. He avoids any particular political agenda but this is a country which has suffered a great deal of injustice and cruelty and the reader will no doubt draw his or her own conclusions. Very highly recommended.
