My Father, My Son is technically not a difficult book, with an easy-to-read style, the author telling the touching story of a military family without delving into detailed discussions about politics, warfare, or military tactics. But once you reach the midway point, the subject segues into the aftereffects of Vietnam, and the consequences of the methods of warfare used in that conflict. A good though sobering read, told through many interviews of the family and friends. ( )
