In 1971, however, he appeared on television to decry the doomed war effort in Vietnam. Now, in "About Face," he has written an autobiography which many Vietnam veterans have called the most important book of their generation. . . . From Korea to Berlin, from the Cuban missile crisis to Vietnam, Hackworth's story is that of an exemplary patriot, played out against the backdrop of the changing fortunes of America and the American military. It is also a stunning indictment -- of the Pentagon's fundamental misunderstanding of the Vietnam conflict, and of the bureaucracy and self-interest that fueled that lost war.".
