The chapter on Khe Sanh is REALLY heavy on the historical and military language. probably helps to watch a video on I-IV Corps, how they were divided up, and the types of fighting that took place in each before this one.

Some of the best nonfiction I’ve ever read. No spoilers, but Herr’s story on 64 is some of the most haunting things I’ve ever read. I was reading on my plane ride home from Durran’s Bachelor Party trip in New Orleans, and and I shed tears sitting between two strangers. Hours later, it still sits so heavily on your shoulders.

Really descriptive. I am in awe of Herr’s ability to notice stuff. Pretty remarkable.
I like how he simultaneously caps off and leads some paragraphs with double entendres.
