Book Reviews of Xin Loi, Viet Nam

Book Review: A soldier's view of Vietnam...
Summary: 5 Stars

Anyone who fought in Vietnam will love this book, anyone who didn't (which has to be the vast majority of us alive today) NEEDS to read this first hand account of a soldier's day to day life in country.

Speaking of a childhood friend who lost his legs after only eight days there, Sever writes of those sent home early, "Their war was finished quickly and while their bodies were torn, their souls had not been scarred. They had missed the day after day mind numbing fear and brutality of guerrilla warfare that worked as a dull rasp to slowly wear away frivilous civilian emotions and fraudulent morals until nothing was left but harsh truth....Only new guys wondered why so many guys smiled during a firefight."

Xin Loi Vietnam is a riveting, first-hand account of a war we never committed to and the terrible toll that took on the guys who served in it.

Al Sever's Xin Loi Vietnam is a book you won't put down. It has the ring of truth and the sting of reality.
