David Andrews Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 (edited) I read it recently for the first time (after reading other Prouty and listening to many lectures on film) - and it's probably one of the most important books on Vietnam. I hate to say it, but had Prouty avoided his surmises on the mechanics of the assassination, the book would have gotten a lot more recognition. (Paradoxically, though, it's the Kennedy/Oliver Stone associations that got it published as prominently as it was. But that didn't buy it many favorable reviews in the mainstream press.) And there's the dichotomy: I have an older friend who's a Vietnam vet, and I'd love to get him a copy because I think he'd like it based on his other reading. But the assassination conspiracy would turn him off. Dear Abby... Edited September 20, 2010 by David Andrews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to learn with the ugly reality of the JFK assassination .... and it was a big reason he was in Vietnam in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
