With my recent vacation that included time in Viet Nam I realized I wanted to know a little more about its recent history.
Many of the books at Borders seemed to be just glorified if not outright embellished accounts of SF guys there. I was a bit skeptical of most of the books I saw.
Trying to be a little more open I picked the only comprehensive English language biography of Ho Chi Minh, 'An Enormous Crime' which is about the holding back of American POWs and 'Bury Me Upside Down' a pilot's account of interdiction on the HCM Trail and in Laos.
So now I have about 2,000 pages of reading on top of the medical books I pulled off that shelf at home last night to just refresh myself.
Hmmm.... reading in bed from 10 till midnight I guess for the next month.
