A Realistic Portrayal of TheVietnam War From a Medic’s Point of View”

 

 

“Rarely, if ever, can non-veterans write and create any kind of realistic tale about combat and capture the subtleness and the fullness of the emotional and spiritual chaos related to battle. Author Robert J Saniscalchi is certainly one of the exceptions and he apparently listened very well (not only with his ears and mind but with his heart!) to his brother’s stories about his tour in Nam. This is a first rate tale as seen from the point of view of his leading character, who is a combat medic. We are treated to a moving fictional account of what it was really like in Vietnam. The book “Bullets and Bandages” has already created some good “buzz” from those who have read it.

 

The author opens and closed his storyline with a visit by his main character to his best friend’s father to talk about his son’s death and what life was like for them in Vietnam. He fills the in-between pages with a riveting account that is at times graphic, horrific, even loving. The story-line moves well from cover to cover and is really a well thought out book.

 

This is just the author’s first book but has proven that he can tell a great story. It is a very readable book and one that will stay with you long after you put the book down. It is moving and it can be very emotional. It is recommended for mature readers only!”
