First there was We Were Soldiers and Young and then Mel Gibson's movie of the same name. Now, I just finished the follow up as Colonel Moore and some of his men's return to the Ia Drang some years later. There they relive and rethink what happened and the war they fought in Vietnam. Whether you know little or a lot about that place there are still lessons to be learned. Click on Mark Twain above to see my review....
Hi TB - I know nothing about this war ... though hear things occasionally via the BBC ... and it gets me to look at the map - which at least is a start. I'm afraid not much else ... though I know it resonates in the American mind. All the best - Hilary
ReplyDeleteIt is a tough war to review. The more we know the more we understand the errors of all that which took place back in those days.
