Most Memorable Book

What book, or books, on Vietnam that you have read are memorable? I hesitate to use the word "favorite". It can be a book based on someone's experiences as a soldier, sailor, marine, or airman, or a book on the history/politics of the war. Something that you read that really made you think about the big picture, or, something that you read that gave you a deeper understanding of what the ordinary troop experienced.

"If you are able,
save for them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when you are leaving
for the places they can no longer go.
Be not ashamed to say
you loved them,
though you may or may not have always.
take what they have left
and what they have taught you
with their dying
and keep it with your own.
And in that time
when men decide and feel safe
to call war insane,
take one moment to embrace
those gentle heroes
you left behind."
