I love the smell of Napalm in the morning

Probably one the best iconic war films of all time. Sheen and Brando give an interesting look into two different personalities in this Vietnam war drama takes place. Not your everyday war movie but, it never disappoints.

"As a war correspondent, I have read many of the classic eyewitness accounts. I bought this book when I visited Vietnam in 1997. It’s one of the rare novels about that terrible war written from their perspective by a North Vietnamese student. It’s brutal, gut-wrenching, heart-breaking and desperately human. It’s also vital to remember that as much as the U.S. suffered on all fronts, Vietnam came off far, far worse. This book was first translated and sold in the west, ten years before it could be published in Vietnam."
