For anyone seeking to understand the Vietnam War this is a must read. This oral history gives voice to people who we don't often hear about. Most are Communists who fought against South Vietnam and her Allies and what I find interesting is that you can read personal stories that both show why these people fought and why the end was so bitter. Even for those on the winning side. Highly recommended.
