This is a good book.  Full disclosure: it was written by my father-in-law.  Still, it is a fine book worth reading, especially if you are a fan of a) autobiographies, b) spiritual journeys, c) books about Vietnam experiences, d) fine real-life stories, or e) books edited by me.  Mostly my editing work consisted of adding the letter “s” to the word “corps” and adding commas between independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions.  This is not a shattering tell-all about ’70s government or military intrigue, though you will get an honest, authentic first-person account of a young man struggling to understand life, religion, war, politics, and how he fit into all of it as a man of love and peace in what seemed to be the least appropriate place for him: the battlefields of Vietnam.  You will enjoy the honesty, the style, and the action, and you will feel the frustration, the sorrow, and the loss right along with him.  Get this book and read it.  Then get 10 more for each of your friends.  You’ll be glad you did.
