"Hundreds of books have been written about Vietnam: memoirs, histories, political commentaries, and battle stories. . . until Warren Albrecht’s latest work no one has tried seriously to connect Vietnam with today’s soldiers. . . the author’s novel manages to find a bridge that uses West Point and West Pointers as metaphorical building material. . . this book ties together lives, generations and the ghosts of wars a generation apart to conclude that soldiers are heroes to be sure but also flawed individuals who must live their lives dealing with the consequences of success and failure in battle.” MAJOR GENERAL ROBERT H. SCALES, (U.S. Army, retired), Vietnam War veteran, recipient of the Silver Star, former Commandant, Army War College, military analyst, news commentator, and author of seven books.
