Hey bob Well, just in case you didn't find what you needed, I'd personally recommend Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes. It's fiction but he is a vet so really knows how to write a heart pumping action book. Also Fields of Fire by James Webb compares the war experience of three different men...also...

John Fowles Also I am a big fan of John Fowles...or I should say specifically his book The Magus. Awesome, disturbing, beautiful and bizarre.

Hey guys, I read a lot of books for my website and while I'm a patient and interested reader sometimes I really struggle if I have a bad book and I can't finish it. Does anyone else have this problem...what do you do? I have this thing when I'm like if I start it I should finish it altho...

Hey, Iguess the thing is that most ppl haven't actually been there but the skill is in the way the author is able to recreat the fear, the sights and sounds to put you there in your mind...I've read a few books that have done that. Pretty cool.

Hi, Yes, Tim O'Brien wrote some good stuff on Nam, it obviously affected his life and writing in a big way. The Things They Carried is my favourite I guess. Thomas

for eBooks Hey, As a writer I care about writer's rights as it were and overall I think the Readers are good, it means easier access to being published, lower costs etc. I also have a kindle and appreciate the space I have gained by not having tonnes of books everywhere lol Thomas

Michael Herr, one of the best reportage authors ever. Also like AndyMcNab, cheesy action but so readable!

Hey, Just asking for people's perspectives really. I'm a fan of Vietnam War books and it seems they capture the real essence of human spirit, it's best and worst parts in the crucible of war. Non-fiction rules for me as the folks were there and saw it all. T

Hi guys, As a reviewer for a Vietnam War books site I read a lot of books dealing with war and conflict. It's funny, some of them really make you shiver with fear and dread, other fail to recreate the horror of conflict. Has anyone read a good book that really captures this...what is it that...

Thanks for recommendations Hi thanks for those, I will definitely look at those two books for reviews for my website...I recently read After My Lai by Gary Bray, an interesting account of taking control of the same platoon that committed the massacre in 1968. Very interesting!
