Shining ideals and a life brought to its end all too soon,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Killed In Action: The Life And Times Of Sp4 Stephen H. Warner, Draftee, Journalist And Anti-war Activist (Paperback)
Written by an author who also served in the United States Army in Vietnam, Killed In Action is the biography of draftee, journalist, and anti-war activist Stephen H. Warner. Though staunchly opposed to the war, he refused to avoid service to his country for the sake of principle, and served as an Army journalist until enemy fire slew him. An eloquent, articulate account, that draws heavily upon Warner's own words and testimony from people who knew him, Killed In Action is a singularly vivid portrait and testament of shining ideals and a life brought to its end all too soon.

The Ernie Pyle of the Viet Nam War,
By robert giannasi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Killed In Action: The Life And Times Of Sp4 Stephen H. Warner, Draftee, Journalist And Anti-war Activist (Paperback)
Drawn from the diaries and letters of a former anti-war activist who chose to serve rather than evade the draft and died in the waning days of the War, this gripping account of life in Nam has special poignancy today. Drafted out of Yale Law School, Steve Warner faces the dilemmas of his generation, but his war experiences change him. The author writes the book that Warner the journalist wanted to write but could not. Reads like a novel. I couldn't put it down.

A MUST-READ FOR STUDENTS OF VIETNAM WAR HISTORY,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Killed In Action: The Life And Times Of Sp4 Stephen H. Warner, Draftee, Journalist And Anti-war Activist (Paperback)
Mr. Amchan has managed to explore all the contadictions and ambivalence of the Vietnam era through the forgotten story of one complex and courageous young man -- Stephen Warner. Deftly paced and brimming with historical fact and insight, it is of interest not only as great history, but as American drama.
