A year in the life of a Vietnam War chopper pilot. A solid memoir, if not groundbreaking. However, there is one part- after months of war and privation and misery- where the author mentions turning 21. I'd forgotten that I was reading about a frickin' kid out there in hell, and that moment made me pause. That'll stick with me for a long time.
