"Outstanding" for Haunting Legacy!

We're so very glad to announce that Haunting Legacy received an "Outstanding" rating in the 2012 "University Press Books for Public and Secondary School Libraries"!

Here's what the review said:

"Even though the Vietnam War ended almost 40 years ago, its effects are still felt in American society causing people to still be divided over the issue. During the war and after the war, people remain

much divided over the war and the decisions made during the war. Politicians running for office feel the effects from serving or not serving in the military during the Vietnam War. Presidents and Congress members think twice before enacting foreign policy in order to avoid it happening again. The American people view the military and military service differently because of the Vietnam War. The authors explain how the ghosts of the Vietnam War have affected the decision making of Presidents and shaped public policy for better or worse."—Angela Green (PLR)
