Patriots is hands-down the best book on the Vietnam War I have read. And I have read quite a few. Rather than being a work of literature, a nonfiction history book of politics and strategy, or a memoir, this is both a combination of all three categories and none of the three categories at the same time. Its vast scope of content is beyond any Vietnam War book I have read. It is a collection of interviews conducted by the author with people related to all aspects of the Vietnam War. South Vietnamese veterans, Viet Cong guerillas, North Vietnamese doctors and diplomats, American draft-dodgers and politicians are just some of the people interviewed for the book. Christian Appy even interviewed Nikita Khrushchev's son, General Westmoreland, and General Giap! The memories of everyone from the lowliest infantryman to the highest ranking strategic commanders and politicians are recorded in this book. I would recommend this book to everyone. It is a masterpiece. Definitely one of my favorite books.
