The Nightingale's Song

Robert Timberg

Explore the haunting effects of the Vietnam War on America through the intertwined lives of Annapolis graduates John McCain, James Webb, Oliver North, Robert McFarlane, and John Poindexter. In this captivating tale, Robert Timberg uses these five men as metaphors for the well-meaning but ill-fated warriors of a generation. Timberg delves into the divide between those who fought and those who used connections to avoid battle. Discover the compelling flip side of the "Vietnam generation" in The Nightingale's Song.

An extraordinary story of courage and sacrifice and also a cautionary tale about how easy it is to lose your way and go down the wrong path, even if you think what you’re doing is in service of a noble goal.      source
