Stolen Valor

Hat tip to the Michael Medved Fan Website for the link to this News Max book review. The book is also available from Amazon and some of the reviews on that website are of interest - some people mentioned in the book are quite annoyed at their portrayal... From the NewsMax review: bq. Slowly, the war has come back to haunt us. Legions of homeless Vietnam veterans are in streets, hundreds of thousands of them are suffering from Agent Orange or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, and more of them have died from suicide than died in the war . . . or so the social advocates and the media tell us. bq. B.G. Burkett, in over ten years of research in the National Archives, filing hundreds of requests for military documents under the Freedom of Information Act, uncovered a massive distortion of history, a distortion than cost the U.S. taxpayers billions of dollars. Mr. Burkett's work has toppled national political leaders and put criminals in jail. bq. The authors show killers who have fooled the most astute prosecutors and gotten away with murder, phony heroes who have become the object of award-winning documentaries on national network television, and liars and fabricators who have flooded major publishing houses with false tales of heroism which have become best-selling biographies. Guess I'll have to give Amazon some more money - this looks really interesting.
