Is it possible to fight two wars at the same time? In the summer of 1969, elements of the 101st Airborne went back to the A Shau Valley in South Vietnam. In the summer of 1864 the 10th Vermont, part of General Ricketts’ Third Division, marched into the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Sam Kensington was there at both campaigns. How on earth can this be possible? I ask myself the same question, and it was only when I read the book that I found the answer. You too can find the answer when you read Don Meyer’s book, “The American War”. War is always a topic we want to find out about, though it is usually not anything good to hear. I think that is why it took me a while to really get interested in this book, but after a while, I was so captured by this well-written story that I couldn’t put the book down. Sam Kensington is the main character, and I won’t go into details about him, because it will ruin the book for you. Sam, otherwise known as Four Seven, was a unique, well-respected soldier in both wars.
Don Meyer creates a cast of believable and realistic characters, setting them in a story that is so intense and real that it makes the reader feel as if he is right there in battle with the characters. The way Meyer writes the battlefield scenes gives readers an actual account of what it is like to be there fighting. It all just seem so real when we read it! If you like war stories, this is definitely a book for you to read. Or if you are like me and you are curious as to what the battlefield is like, then also you will enjoy this book. Be advised that this is a book written by a man, with men at war, so you can imagine for yourself the language and men talk in the book. Go grab a copy of this well-written book by author Don Meyer to read for your own enjoyment.
