Last Phoenix: A Story of the Cia's Phoenix Program

Rating:
Summary: Entrancing characters, makes you fume with rage and fury
Review: This is a great book. It has some problems, to be sure, is poorly edited and some of the historical asides drag on forever and take away from the action. The typographical errors are glaring. But, the author gets inside your head and provokes sympathy and thought, brings the whole sickness and drama of Vietnam alive and holds your attention fixedly. This book is written at a much higher literary and psychological level than most "vietnam war" books. While the author seems to tire out right at the very climax of the book, this book is a wonderful work by a talented author.
