The narrative is powerful, well-written, often hair-raising. It is energetic and sorrowful writing.

This is a timely exposition of the ordeal of the Vietnam War. Delving into the hearts and minds of a fictionalized forward observer squad, the author depicts in sometimes raw and frightful detail their innermost feelings and hopes, without detracting from the drama, poignancy and, at times, humor of their hardships.

The story of Will Stone in Vietnam throws one into the turbulent cultural and political waves of the late 1960s via the travails of one American soldier who must learn to deal with racial turmoil at home, then the ghastly reality of jungle warfare in Vietnam. This story gets as hot as the jungle and the war it describes, leaving the reader to ponder age-old dilemmas: What is worth fighting for? What is worth dying for?
