A classic, must-listen Vietnam war memoir

The classic Vietnam war memoir, ...and a hard rain fell is the unforgettable story of a veteran's rage and the unflinching portrait of a young soldier's odyssey from the roads of upstate New York to the jungles of Vietnam. Updated for its twentieth anniversary with a new afterword on the Iraq War and its parallels to Vietnam, John Ketwig's message is as relevant today as it was twenty years ago.

"A magnetic, bloody, moving, and worm's-eye view of soldiering in Vietnam, an account that is from the first page to last a wound that can never heal. A searing gift to his country."-Kirkus Reviews

"Solidly effective. He describes with ingenuous energy and authentic language that time and place."-Library Journal

"Perhaps as evocative of that awful time in Vietnam as the great fictions . . . a wild surreal account, at its best as powerful as Celine's darkling writing of World War One."-Washington Post

Sad and realistic narrative that shouldn’t have happened . For those that missed this conflict because of our age I think back to how Vietnam has scarred us.

Sobering account of how lives are changed by war and the politics and greed that escalated the conflict to obscene human costs.

His Pissing and moaning was endless. I went through basic at Fort Brag, yes Fort Bragg not Liberty, sure training was hard but not the Hell he describes. I think his story is embellished with a lot of half truths . He’s not the guy I would have a beer with!

Don’t waste your time on this book.

One of if not the best memoirs I’ve read about the Vietnam War. Immersive. Thought provoking. Honest. A glimpse into the totality of one person’s experience of war, enlistment to present day. Written with an empathetic and truthful lens.

Heart wrenching, eloquent, and devastatingly truthful

the main character whines his way through the story. I know it's his story, but too much for an entire book.

to much whining

If the author removed 80% of the whining, this would be a great book. I have four hours left and I don’t know if I’m gonna finish it because I can’t stand all the whining. It’s physically exhausting me hearing him complain all the time. There’s been books where guys have had hand to hand combat for 2 days straight watching their buddies die all around them and they complained a hell of a lot less. This is brutal.

This book is exhausting……

This has to be the most disgusting personal account of someone's experience in Vietnam. My take home was how a weak individual smoked a lot of dope while in the Army and thinks even now that this is the worst country in the world, and I absolutely do not recommend anyone wasting their $ on this trash

How a selfish individual stayed doped up in Vietnam

While i appreciate his service this is hands down the worst book ive read He couldnt remember 2 weeks of work from bring in a drug induced daze yet recounts details of everything else in such detail. Nothing that made me want to sympathize with the author who lived in relative safety and opulance in thialand to fill out his service. Very redundant.

Dont waste your time
