Brief Book Review: The Vietnam War
Vietnam War
The Vietnam war for the USS Boston a Guided Missile Heavy Cruiser didn’t turn out so well the USS Boston returns to Boston’s bay some of the crew from the USS Boston got transferred to a Heavy Cruiser Attack on the interior of Vietnam. A squad that got transferred to Riverine Assault Force or known as RAF as they were fighting along with the help of the army to flush the Vietnamese off the coast of Vietnam. As the team moved more inland the Vietnamese try desperately to hold them off but the boats fire power was too much for them. Later on the Vietnamese would have overrun the boat if the army didn’t come and help them. Their communicationist, Morris radioed just in time for the army to come and help them. …show more content…
The theme of the novel is Morris made a pledge to protect his buddies and Southern Vietnamese people from the Viet Cong who were allied with Northern Vietnam.
The impact of the war was to prevent North Vietnam from converting South Vietnam into a communist country. Many U.S and Vietnam soldiers died in the Vietnam War. This impacts me because we defended South Vietnam from the communists taking over other countries for communism. Over 58,000 U.S soldiers sacrificed their lives for our democracy, freedom, along with mine and future generations. Had these soldiers not defended South Vietnam, South Vietnam would have become a communist nation. This impacts others because Southern Vietnamese have rights, while the people of North Vietnam are communists and have no rights.
I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in history or just wants to read a good novel with action, the story starts off slow at first but speeds up later on. Yes, I would suggest this novel to a friend because my friend told me about a book that turned out to be one of my favorite books so I want to return the favor plus he enjoys war books. Also, I liked that four friends join the war but they all served in different branches of the U.S services, Morris, Ivan, Rudi, and Beck are the four friends in this series and share different viewpoints on the Vietnam
