I chose to read We Were Soldiers Once….and Young by LT. General Harold G. Moore (Ret.) and Joseph L. Galloway. The reason I chose this book is because it looked like the one I would most be interested in – I like military history. It is the story of the first major land battle of the Vietnam War that took place in the Ia Drang Valley – also known as “Death Valley”. The book is based on interviews of people from both sides resulting in a detailed account of what happened physically and emotionally during the battle.

Shane I too read this book and I too am interested in Military History thus resulting in my descion to read "We Were Soldiers...Once And Young". I found the stories told in this book to be both compelling and hearbreaking upon my completion of the book.
Kyra Samaha- If I wasn't into military history, as you are, would "We Were Soldiers Once...and Young" still be an interesting read for me?

I also read this book but because I didn't know much about this war and wanted to learn more. I also thought the book was really moving and I enjoyed it.
I also am interested in Military history, but wouldn't it be somewhat difficult to keep up with who is talking in the interview throughout the book?
