Great insights into the experiences of a Vietnam PoW
Revisado: 12-02-17
Not having been alive during the Vietnam war, I felt that this book provided great insights into the life and experiences of a PoW as well as some of the history surrounding the war as a whole. After listening to it I felt I really knew the person of Bill Robinson and could empathize with him because I had learned his story. The author gives incredible detail about names, dates, and events which are very good indicators of accuracy and authenticity (I did not seek to confirm them myself). The performer reading this presents the book in a very matter-of-fact fashion and I very much appreciated knowing his background with the US military lends to a personal knowledge of the subjects of the book.
I would recommend it for anyone interested in the Vietnam war or PoW's in general.
Note: I received this book for free from the performer in exchange for this review.
