I really did enjoy this book and it displays the horror of war in great detail. It was one of those books that get you caught up in and can't stop reading. It is a part of history that I think is not being read enough by our younger generation on what happened a little over fifty years ago. What stood out was the immense loss of life that was envolved and still the ability to go on in such a manner. The author leaves you with the impression that it is two vile leaders that had no heart is the reason that such a battle could occur and he is probably right. (good book)
