This quote is astounding:
" Americans called for the South Vietnamese to stand and fight, to give more, and to join U.S. forces in the 'big-unit war'.
However, when the South Vietnamese had the audacity do what the Americans asked, to play an important role in battle—an American battle—it had to be swept aside and forgotten.
Such was the fragile nature of the American ego and national will. "

At one point, as we spoke of his unit being surrounded on Camp Carroll, Dinh leaned in toward me and, with tears in his
eyes, asked a question that had obviously gnawed at the very core of his being for thirty years: “America is still in South Korea. Why are
you not still in South Vietnam? What did we do wrong?”

Don't want to read this one too quickly, one of the best books I've read all year.
