Excellent book. Obviously due to constraints on the length of films the film couldn't pack all the detail in but I wasn't disappointed by it, I thought the film did the book justice.
I recommend that anyone with an interest in the Vietnam War who hasn't read We Were Soldiers Once, And Young should do so. Paul's mention of the film has me wanting to dig out my copy of the book and re-read it.
