This joined a glut of Vietnam movies released around the same time, but stands that bit taller due to stronger star power and in my opinion a story better told.
The stars are too many to mention here, suffice to say this is up there with the best of its genre and deserved its awards.

"This is the most gripping book I’ve read about the Vietnam War, written by a New York Times journalist who, along with David Halberstam, was one of the best on-the-ground chroniclers of that chapter in our history. And because it focuses on one single, indelible character, it reads like a great novel."
