"Whether he was fifteen years old or forty, David Hackworth devoted himself to the U.S. Army and quickly became a living legend. In 1971, however, he appeared on television to decry the doomed war effort in Vietnam. 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 of self-interest that fueled the war. With About Face, Hackworth has written what many Vietnam veterans have called the most important book of their generation."--Back cover.

I read this book when I was in the Marines. My XO saw me reading on duty and reminded me that Marines on post are not supposed to read. He asked me what I was reading, and I told him, "About Face," he stated, "that's good training," and to keep reading. Hackworth talks about how you can agree on a topic, and then change your mind once you see what's really going on, and that is something we need to remember, especially into days world.
