I guess I should have read the bookjacket before starting this book - it is actually 2 really short books: (1) korean war and 2) vietnam war. The audiobook format was excellent, worth reviewing since it was so different from most audiobooks. Each quote was read by a different person so it was more like a "living history" book. I wish longer, more in-depth books on the wars, could be read in the same manner but it's probably price prohibitive. The book itself... well, it's OK... super short review of some of the major factors in each war and quick stories of events. Patton was a good narrator as were the other readers. I just wasn't expecting the overview format - I was expecting in-depth books - so I was kinda disappointed that it was so short. ( )
