Vietnam is a war that most Americans would rather not remember. Krohn's memoir of his experiences in the 2nd battalion, trapped near Hue during the 1968 Tet offensive, reminds us of what happens to people who forget their history. This is an updated edition of his account that was first published in 1993. The author continued in the military and, after retirement, was a consultant during the invasion of Afghanistan. His final chapters reflect his belief that the lessons of Vietnam have been ignored. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
