Unfortunately the review was written by David Hunt. Hunt is no friend of SF and will be speaking at the conference sponsored by the Texas Tech University Vietnam Memorial Archives. He will be discussing the futile and negative environmental impact of the US military operations in the Mekong Delta
Hunt, although somewhat more moderate in his views, aligns with the Marilyn Young and Nick Turse camp.
Typical liberal academic, IMO, that sits back 30 years hence and tells us how F'd up we were. Never, never daring to risk his own ass or get his hands dirty. Just blah, blah, blah, blah, blah! Oh shit, now you got me started on a rant -
I'm going to shut up now!
Thanks for the post though - got my heart rate up
