Taylor was not in Vietnam to fight. He was there to have fun while he visited his dad, a high level official working on the Vietnam War. While Taylor tries to get away from his parents, the Tet Offensive happens, and he is kidnapped by NVA fighters and taken along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, also known as Blood Road. This was a hard book to read. I started it some time in late 2020, but it took me a long time to finish it. The devastation the Vietnam War caused on all those who fought and those who just lived in the surrounding areas of Vietnam is immeasurable. The author seems to present both sides of the war while at the same time saying, it was a horrible war no matter what side you were on. This is a difficult book to read with all the tragedy but one I needed to read.
