Why read it?

1 author picked MP - A Novel of Vietnam as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I recommend this book because my author friend, John Schembra, and I served together in Vietnam. He drew on his experiences to write a wonderful novel about the Military Police in Long Binh/Bien Hoa during the Tet Offensive in 1968, The reader is taken back to that war with believable characters, historical settings, and a great plot. Reading his book helped me write my story, set during the actual time we were there. He helped teach me how to write.

From Larry's list on stories of Vietnam veterans.
