Alan Cornett

Meh. It's a quick read and interesting, but not particularly well written. It's certainly a good story, but not peculiar among Vietnam memoirs. The book seemed written for a target audience that views "Rambo: First Blood, Part II" as the apex of filmmaking.

I think that writing this book did less for expanding the minds of readers as healing the wounds of the author.

That said, I have a great deal of respect for the author as a man and as a soldier, just not so much as a writer.
