5.0 out of 5 stars A glowing tribute to all involved in the Vietnam War, 20 Sep 2003

By	Bert Ruiz "author/journalist" (Pleasantville, NY) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

"Patriots: The Vietnam War Remembered From All Sides," by Christian G. Appy is a glowing tribute to everyone who fought, aided, suffered or protested the Vietnam War. If anything, the one consistent thread in many of the individual snapshots of the war is that the leaders in Washington underestimated the will of the Vietnamese people. Moreover, the author documents many of the White House & Pentagon decisions that lead to the death of 58,193 American men & women and the loss of 8,588 aircraft.

The Vietnamese accounts of the war are powerful. The hardship of the jungles, the constant hunger, the simple importance of sandals and the dangers of the American air war are all communicated in short vivid passages. Appy also provides ample evidence that the South Vietnamese government was brutal and corrupt and few American officials in the government or military cared to insist on democratic reforms. However, do not mistake the author's intentions...this book is not an apology...it is an honest account of an American tragedy.

Vietnam is the longest war in the history of the United States. Overall the Vietnam war has generated hundreds of books and dozens of movies and documentaries. To this end, put this book up in the ranks of the very best. It is an excellent journalistic report. This book is well-researched and easy to read. The author is able to collect the voices of the high and mighty as well of those of the poor which he skillfully weaves together to create a masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars Is this the same book as "Vietnam: The Definitive Oral History" by the same author?, 17 Jun 2009

By	Mrs. J. James (Wales) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Patriots: The Vietnam War Remembered from All Sides (Paperback)

I purchased this book recently and although I haven't read it word for word it seems almost identical to "The Definitive Oral History" by the same author - it has the same contributions by Oliver Stone, for example - which I already had. It is a great book but don't buy both - I would get the Definitive Oral History which was published later.

4.0 out of 5 stars Balanced and extremely readable, 8 Oct 2007

By	W. Haigh (Glos, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Patriots: The Vietnam War Remembered from All Sides (Paperback)

I wanted to understand more about the Vietnam war before heading to the country as a "tourist". This book was amazingly readable, whilst supremely informative and fulfilled my needs perfectly. The accounts came from every angle of the war, which gave me as balanced a view as possible, and allowing me to make my own mind up on the issues raised.

It was heavy going at times, given the subject matter, but the short accounts and sensitive handling allowed me to work through the book steadily and fairly quickly. Highly reccomended.
