A few of the people I've talked to about the challenge say the war is still vivid in their memories and don't want to re-live it.Annahttp://diaryofaneccentric.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-31329151606197862482010-10-05T12:40:33.351-04:002010-10-05T12:40:33.351-04:00bermudaonion - My guess is that when you heard Moo...bermudaonion - My guess is that when you heard Moore talk a while back, he probably said some of the same things he does in this book. I'm looking forward to seeing what you think of it.<br /><br />Anna - I think it's also b/c this war is so controversial, and b/c so many people were drafted against their will and didn't want to go at all (whereas in WWII draftees may not have WANTED to go but often felt it was their duty to their country, and not that their country was betraying them). Maybe also b/c this war is more contemporary?Heather J. @ TLC Book Tourshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10474181812740579350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-50232993282468311932010-10-05T12:33:07.834-04:002010-10-05T12:33:07.834-04:00I haven't read either book, but you can bet th...I haven't read either book, but you can bet they're on my to-read list now. We'll get this posted on War Through the Generations soon. We're still behind in updating the site, but hopefully life will settle down a bit soon. ;)<br /><br />I have noticed that many people are reluctant to read books about the Vietnam War. There is a grittiness to them that I haven't yet found in the other war books I've read.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08046635675540466183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7807369122559702185.post-43519091896222341102010-10-05T10:51:40.762-04:002010-10-05T10:51:40.762-04:00I wonder how I missed this book?
