MWSA Book Review

Voices of Vietnam

Author:  Charlene Edwards

Publisher:  Da Capo Press

Reviewer: Bill McDonald – President of the MWSA

It is the most moving book of its kind out there today dealing with the aftermath of the Vietnam War, the people who fought there and live there and the great land itself. Wonderful interviews that are insightful go along with some super photos. This book is in my house on my coffee table. I am honored to have a copy to show others.

This book needs to be seen to be appreciated and understood. It is emotionally gripping and takes you through the written word and by the visual use of photos into the spiritual and emotional womb of that place in our history—The Vietnam War, as you turn page after page. It will be truly be an experience and not just a casual trip though its pages. When you are done looking and reading, you will find that you will need some time to be silent and just meditate on your own life.

Simply the best book of its kind on any book shelf in the world! Buy a copy for your coffee table and for your guests to read - but more importantly, buy a copy for your own heart and soul! Suitable for all ages groups to read.

Winner of several awards including Best Photo Book for 2003 by The American Authors Association and the Gold Book Award for 2004 from MWSA.
