Fields of Fire
Everybody knows that that book's author is currently a U.S. Senator?
And that that the boxing match described in one of his earlier novels, A Sense of Honor, is based on an actual bout between the author and Oliver North at Annapolis?
The books are better than their titles.
Also, one might add to the list, "A Bright Shining Lie: John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam." Not a happy fun read.
