Insight to the war from journalists who were there and the soldiers they met there good book
If you like Danielle Steel, you'll enjoy this!
I really enjoyed this book. I was 18 in 1968 and could relate and remember much of what was portrayed in the book. I can still see in my mind the film coverage of the people trying to get out of Saigon when it fell to the communists.
This is absolutely my favorite Danielle Steel novel of all times. Message to Nam takes you on a journey through love and tragedy during the Vietnam War. This is a must read.
The fist and only Danielle Steel I will ever read. The married men in this story and their infidelity turned me off to Ms. Steel's other work.
i simply loved this book, it is passionate and involved it has true substance (which I do not always find in Danielle Steele). The characters come alive and you are truly brought into the book. I highly recommend it, to me it was not just another Danielle Steele romance, it has it all.
The names and dates may be made up but the story is one experience by many in this war. Ms Steel done an excellent job researching for this piece.
