Introduction	I am a historian and professional book reviewer specializing in the Vietnam War. Hailing from Pembroke Pines, Florida, I am originally from Forest Hills, Queens, N.Y. My wife, Natalia, originally from Nicaragua, assists me in my research. I have 2 cultured, athletic and intelligent sons, David & Michael aged 21 and 19. David is a Freshman @ FSU Law School and Michael a Sophmore at FSU. I have a bachelor's degree in both American History and English (B.A. 1984 S.U.N.Y. @ Albany, N.Y.). My father was a pilot in the Royal Air Force in England, flying a Spitfire during the defense of England, a B-24 bomber, and a veteran of close to 100 missions over Axis skies. My cousin is a wounded and disabled Iraqi War Veteran, who lives in Arizona. I missed the Vietnam War, as I was 15 when it ended, however I have lost many close friends and associates and know friends with PTSD from that horrible war.
