Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Maraniss. . . is a writer with a masterly sense of narrative pace....The tale unfolds with a magisterial sweep that recaptures the war and its era." (The New York Times Book Review)

"My nominee for must-read nonfiction book of the year. . . . They Marched Into Sunlight is that miraculous thing, a substantive, exhaustively researched work of history that reads like a novel." (Maureen Corrigan Fresh Air (NPR))

"A masterful work that brings the conflict back with a rush of cinema verité emotion and tension. . . . Over the years, Vietnam has produced several classics, all of them different: Dispatches, by Michael Herr, and A Bright Shining Lie, by Neil Sheehan. Here is another." (The Economist)

"The towering work of nonfiction this year. . . . Maraniss' great achievement is to be epic and intimate at the same time." (Samuel G. Freedman Newsday)
