 | Brothers in Arms Reviews of the Knopf edition: "A wonderful book--fresh and intelligent. Broyles's eye for Vietnam, then and now, is unerring." --Peter Jennings "[A] superbly written, often moving story of Broyles' journey back to the killing ground in Vietnam where he once served as a Marine lieutenant. A cool, clear meditation that stings the heart." -- Kirkus Reviews "A first-rate piece of work, infused with an ideal American common decency and common sense." --Kurt Vonnegut "Exceptional and memorable." --Gay Talese Founding editor of Texas Monthly magazine and coauthor of the Apollo 13 screenplay, Academy Award nominee William Broyles, Jr., now lives and writes in Austin. After serving as editor in chief of Newsweek from 1982 to 1984, he became one of the first veterans of the war to return to Vietnam to confront the men and women he fought against and his own memories.
