Phantom Over Vietnam
by John Trotti
Written By Bernie Weisz April 27, 2010 Pembroke Pines, Florida e mail: BernWei1@aol.com Title of Review: "An unintentional denouncement of America's will to win in Vietnam!"

To the novice in this area, this part of the book is laborous to... Read more about this item
