“Every so often a work comes along that translates the inexplicable experience into a direct and haunting narrative. Perfume River Nights is such a book. It is a must read … for anyone seeking to understand the ordeal of combat. For every combat soldier who could not explain their combat experience, this work is their voice.”
- Ernie Boswell, Ph.D., clinical psychologist
"Perfume River Nights is a superb novel of the American infantry in Vietnam, and I highly recommend it. If I were still teaching a class on the war, I’d use this novel as a text and the class would learn a lot from it.
"I rank Perfume River Nights right up there with Marlantes’ Matterhorn ..."
—David Willson, Contributing Writer, The VVA Veteran
