Good compilation, well written. ( ) I found "The Vietnam War Trivia Book: Fascinating Facts" offering readers a great overview of the war including some history of the U.S.'s involvement during and after WWI and then throughout the 20 year-long war. The authors tried to take a neutral stand when presenting the many facts of this war, but failed to mention the communist death squads who terrorized and killed many innocent civilians on both sides of the DMZ. I like the way the book is formatted and enjoyed the quizes at the end of each of the six chapters. This is easy reading and I would recommend this book be mandatory reading for high school students - giving them much more to learn more about the war than is currently available in today's history classes. Great job! John Podlaski, author "Cherries - A Vietnam War Novel" and "When Can I Stop Running?" I am disappointed in this book. I was hoping for a fast facts type of book about the Vietnam War. Instead it is a series of essays with some random ( and sometimes just barely related) “facts” tossed in at the end of the essay/chapters. The chapters have some interesting information book but could use some editing. They read like the first draft of a high school history class paper. The authors also mix in a lot of opinion with the “facts” making it difficult to decipher the difference between the two at times. More than once, I felt the need to look further into a “fact” in the book only to discover that the statement was more of an opinion than a fact. Being that this book is more essay than a typical trivia book of factoids, I would have liked the authors to cite sources for their information. Without the sources, one is left to wonder what is actual fact, urban legend, or just plain opinion. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
