Think you're a history buff on Vietnam? Think again. A must read for anyone interested in the Indochina wars. Short, sweet, no fluff. A great true account from a great man.

Fascinating descriptions of North Vietnamese soldiers on the move after dark eluding US attacks. It's difficult for me to imagine a similar cordial relationship developing between captors and captured taking place on battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. This story basically has a happy ending. The captured journalists even get a vote on when and how they're released.
