"Very emotional book for me to read, we owe a huge debt to those who fought for this country even though their sacrifice was not appreciated or recognized by ungrateful leaders or countrymen. Gripping story told from various viewpoints of Battles of Landing Zones X-Ray and Albany in the Ia Drang Valley. Exemplary leadership before, during and after battle by Hal Moore, first on the field of battle and last to leave."
"This was an incredibly powerful book about our first major land engagement in Vietnam. Written by General Moore and a journalist who happened to be present for the battle, it is a most compelling look at what was evolving in that far away place. The book was subsequently made into a movie, which I have not seen.
General Moore, then a colonel and the batallion commander, recounts the name and hometown of every American soldier lost in that battle."
"I have read this book a couple times -- when I was enrolled in Army ROTC and again after I was commissioned and served as a lieutenant in a Field Artillery battalion. It is an incredible story of the 1st Cav in the early years of Vietnam and is a classic on military leadership. I highly recommend it to anyone in the military or who has an interest in military history."
"I think that every U.S. President, high-ranking member of the executive branch, and Congressman should have to 3-5 books before committing troops to war. One of them would be We Were Soldiers Once . . . And Young. Others would be The Thin Red Line, Band of Brothers, Generation Kill, and The Naked and the Dead. Having read these books, our wars would be fewer, but they would be far more effective."
