Good read
Enjoyed the story very much. The different stories was good too. I have enjoyed several of Eric Veins books. Worth the read of you reboot books on Viet Nam.

Shifting fires
Great book well researched and keeps the reader excited to turn the pages. Mr. Helm has a way to make his characters become alive on the page and gets the reader to feel like they are in there shoes. This is the second one I have read and have already ordered the next one.
