Book Reviews of The Nightingale's Song
Book Review: The Nightingale's Song--The eye-opening book of Vietnam.
Summary: 5 Stars
As of this moment, I am in the middle of reading Robert Timberg's The Nightingale's Song. I am on page 356 and still going, while I wait for my slow modem to continue my never-ending search for Naval Academy info. I am 19 and only know about Vietnam from what I've heard, but this has changed everything. This is written in the most informative and eye-opening manner. I feel as if I'm let in "behind the scenes" to the struggles of these five men for their voice to be heard. I plan to start rereading it the day I finish it. It was written about the Navy, for the Navy, and by a Navy man himself. I couldn't have asked for a better narrator to weave the story of Vietnam.
