Currently reading They marched into sunlight. This book draws together two events on the same day, but worlds apart. The ambush and masacre of the crack Black lions regiment in Vietnam and the police crushing of a student protest at the university of wisconsin. The students were protesting the dow chemical company recruting on campus. Dow made napalm! The way David Maraniss interweaves the story of the two events you feel like you are an eyewitness to history, the conflicts are brought to life so vividly. Read and you will thank me.
