Jason R. (teeth) reviewed on 6/20/2006 + 15 more book reviews

LTC Hal Moore's story of the training, combat, and events after the Ia Drang battle offers a first hand account of a pivotal point in US military history. While I found the development and implementation of air assault to be fairly interesting, Moore's narrative seemed to be a bit to simple for me. Don't get me wrong, its an easy read and a great story, but it just seemed like one long 'interview' style documentary. Mel Gibson's movie oversimplifies many aspects, but condenses the book adequately.
