Description
David Hackworth's memoir is a powerful indictment of the Pentagon's fundamental misunderstanding of the Vietnam conflict and the bureaucracy of self-interest that fueled the war.
From his early days as a teenager to his later years as a seasoned soldier, Hackworth's story is one of exemplary patriotism, played against the backdrop of the changing fortunes of America and the US military.
This vivid and powerful portrait of patriotism has made "About Face" a seminal work in the military memoir genre, one that continues to resonate with readers today.
