QUESTION:Cannon Fodder: The Most Read Vietnam War Book Remains #1
Abraham Lincoln made famous these words:
"The victor writes the history of the war."
Of all the books ever written on the Vietnam or any American war one
book exists on more veteran's hard drives -- even more than the Holy
Bible.
"Cannon Fodder: Growing Up For Vietnam" has been read by more
Vietnam veterans than any book written on the Vietnam War... combined.
And whether you respect the author or hate him, Phill Coleman (United
States Army Signal Corp) remains the most debated author the Vietnam
War has ever produced.
Some reviews:
"Cannon Fodder is a mixture of brilliance, a
reflection of cerebral intelIect... and some good old
fashion American adventure... every veteran who served in
Vietnam -- from pilot to grunt -- becomes a hero in
Coleman's book... which has made him a permanent fixture in
the history of the Vietnam War. I couldn't put it down. Not
one aspect of the G.I. experience in Vietnam was left out."
Another:
Coleman makes us think about the reality of not just the
war, but about who we are as Americans, what we do... to
ourselves and each other... and how important it is to
always be involved in a project or mission that is
worthwhile. Coleman hits the nail squarely on the head. He
calls a spade a spade.

the refueler and got to play with the Pettibone forklift. almost flipped a
jeep...now that would have been hard for the Army to explain to my mom and
dad. hell even some of the grunts were bored. just imagine carrying your
