I agree with one of the people that read this book. Col.Stoffey is not a writer, but then he was a military man first. I enjoyed his book and it was money well spent in buying the book.I know that most Nam Vets will agree with me that when you are in a hot spot and you hear the blades,whether it be from a chopper coming to get you or one coming with enought firepower to help you get out of the hot spot you don't care if he is a writer or not.
