One of my favorite books on Vietnam! Christy Sauro tells the story of a group of young Marines (adopted by the Minnesota Twins) as they go from boot camp to the aftermath of returning home.
His clear, concise writing makes it easy to follow the lives of a number of different men - not always an easy task when you are dealing with the complexities of war in a foreign country. The people and places just come to life. And his writing is so poignant, even the people who appear briefly in the book capture your heart. I found myself crying as well as laughing at some of the day-to-day events.
These men are not only champions, they are also heroes and through Christy's stories, we will never forget them.
