Frank Prince turned 18 the summer of 9/11. Like the rest of the country, he's horrified by the attacks, but he's also confused and scared. He isn't convinced the impending war on terror is justified, and worst of all, he's afraid he'll be drafted to fight it. Then his mother drops a bomb on him, his father's Vietnam War journal. Frank used to think Vietnam was ancient history. But his father's raw account of his experience obliterates the wall of time that separates them. Now he's learning who his father was - and what he had to teach.

Thrilling read

I got hold of this book during my internship in the USA. I like the style of writing of this author. The way he is combining the vietnam journal and the current events is excellent. As a non US citizen I have heard quite many stories about Vietnam, but to read the journal entries is a whole different experience. I just can recommend to read that book.

INSIGHTFUL, RIVETING

This is an amazing read ... very provocative. Everyone who sat through 9/11 and said "God, I just want to DO something!" and all those who said "Oh No, Not me; I have enough on my plate ..." need to read this.

Interesting Read, Surprise ending
July 5 2005
By Paul DiMarco
- Published on Amazon.com
I thought the story was well written. At slightly over 100 pages, this could be classified more as a short story than a novel. That is a good thing because it does not inundate you with side plots and filler to add pages. It moves along quickly and keeps you interested.
The author found a very clever way of tying 2 wars that are 30+ years apart together. The ending really caught me by surprise. I recommend you read it for yourself to find out.
I hope this is only the beginning for Boucher.
