The essays are called `bold' but the reality is that disagreeing with the Vietnam war isn't exactly revolutionary. No original thought is found within these essays instead they are the typical `America is evil' mentality. One essay in particular focuses on the war in Laos and Cambodia but it ignores the Vietnamese invasions of these countries and the destabilizing influence that Vietnamese troops caused as they rampaged through the rice fields of Cambodia in order to invade South Vietnam. The reality is that these essays completely ignore and in fact deny the truth about Pol Pots regime in Cambodia, a communist regime that killed 25% of the country and especially murdered minority groups and Muslims. These glaring anti-factuals make this collection hard to accept and even harder to digest. Fans of the authors previous work will be delighted, while most will be unhappy.
