Why read it?

1 author picked Winter Soldiers as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Winter Soldiers offers firsthand accounts of more than thirty of members of Vietnam Veterans Against the War, some of whom first joined the military with a deep belief in the rightness of America’s role in that conflict.

Eventually they made common cause with the protesters against the war and their voices had a role in its ending. Winter Soldiers follows them from their lives before the war, through their service, and into its aftermath.

From Amanda's list on the Sixties and the Vietnam War era.
