I have finished reading (for the third time in the last decade.. this book merit to be read again)
"A Time Of War" by Michael Peterson ISBN-10: 0749307471
A novel about the Vietnam war, where Lyndon Johnson are pressured from all sides to either continue the war or withdraw.
It is a story about little people that are pawn to those in power, zealot patriots that would stop at nothing, and sacrifice everything to achieve their goal.
Of some that pursue glory at the expense of those that are lower in the food chain.
Teenager American soldiers that are sent to battlefield and fight without knowing the reason why..
I rate this book 4.5/5
I wish there is an ebook of this.
(incidentally, the writer is a convicted murderer of his own wife in Durham, N.C)

It doesn't take a hero by Norman Swartzkoff.
Good insight into both the man and the first gulf war.
