The Most Read Vietnam War Book... Remains Number One

The Most Read Vietnam War Book... Remains Number One

Abraham Lincoln made famous these words:

"The victor writes the history of the war."

Of all the books ever written one book exists on more veteran's hard
drives -- even more than the Holy Bible.

"Cannon Fodder: Growing Up For Vietnam" has been read by more Vietnam
veterans than any book on the war... combined. And whether you respect
the author or hate him, Phill Coleman (United States Army Signal Corp)
remains the most debated author the Vietnam War has ever produced.

Some reviews:

One Vietnam War reviewer wrote:

"Cannon Fodder is a mixture of brilliance, a
reflection of cerebral intelIect... and some good old
fashion American adventure... every veteran who served in
Vietnam -- from pilot to grunt -- becomes a hero in
Coleman's book... which has made him a permanent fixture in
the history of the Vietnam War. I couldn't put it down. Not
one aspect of the G.I. experience in Vietnam was left out."

And:

Coleman makes us think about the reality of not just the
war, but about who we are as Americans, what we do... to
ourselves and each other... and how important it is to
always be involved in a project or mission that is
worthwhile. Coleman hits the nail squarely on the head. He
calls a spade a spade.
