This book is a chilling and compelling account of one man's wartime experiences in Vietnam, and his subsequent lifelong struggle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. It is a shocking story of chaotic violence, of remorseless murder, and emotional detachment. It is also a powerful story of recovery, reconciliation, and redemption. Better Him Than Me is not recommended for the faint hearted. It contains blunt and graphic accounts of appalling crimes of violence that the author confesses to committing in civilian life. This is a controversial book, but it is a true story. It is a must read for anyone interested in what really happened in that tragic war in Vietnam, and for the family and friends of the thousands of U.S. veterans that are still struggling to cope with the effect of the war on their lives.
