Interesting, but definately slanted
Published by Airsick , 5 years ago
You learn what it was like for the "heroic Viet Cong battling the huge American invaders" from their tunnel complexes. If you can stomach the authors' overt bias, then this is a good read.
Great book

Good book about the tunnels in vietnam. I didn't know much about these tunnels until this book. Those rats had big balls to go in there. Worth your money.
A good read

This is a very educational book on the Vietnam war - a topic most people have at best a fuzzy understanding of. The American tunnel rats were incredibly brave (and at least a tad crazy), fighting against the clever and dedicated Viet Cong enemy on their own turf - actually, under their turf, in tunnels rigged with booby traps and other dangers. I learned a lot about the war with perspectives from both sides of the conflict.
A fantastic book revealing much about the "enemy."

This is a great book which can compliment your viewing of Mickey Grant's 1 hour film shot in Vietnam titled, "The Cu Chi Tunnels." Tom's book also includes much about the "Tunnel Rats". The film deals much more with the Vietnamese side which has been so often not been revealed.
This is a good book for the familys of "Tunnel Rats"

As a Tunnel Rat that spent time in the tunnels in the Iron Triangle, the "Tunnels of Cu Chi" recounts many of the episodes that happened in the area. I used this book to explain the what part of my duties in VietNam was like. It tells the tale with out embelishment nor as a typical war story. I recommend it to all "Rats" familys to give them better understanding of what being a "Tunnel Rat" was like in VietNam.
