I have to tell you guys about this awesome book I read.

It's called "Dispatches" by Michael Herr.

Its a first person account of the Vietnam War in which Herr was a correspondent. It has to be one of the most intense books I have ever read.

Sounds good, I'll keep an eye out for it!

If you like Vietnam-era books try "Chickenhawk" by Robert Mason, he was a helicopter pilot during vietnam, also a gripping book.
