YAVietnam series.
This is the second book in Lynch's series about how the Vietnam War affects four friends. Here Ivan, the only one excited about serving, joins the army and is trained as a sharpshooter. Emotions surge as he comes to terms with the harsh realities of war. The characters are flat, but this book gives an honest account of wartime military service.
