Called "everything a 20th-century war memoir could possibly be" by the New York Times, this national best seller by Colonel David H. Hackworth presents a vivid and powerful portrait of a life of patriotism.

From age 15 to 40, David Hackworth devoted himself to the US Army and fast became a living legend. In 1971, however, he appeared on television to decry the doomed war effort in Vietnam. With About Face, he has written what many Vietnam veterans have called the most important book of their generation.

From Korea to Berlin, from the Cuban missile crisis to Vietnam, Hackworth's story is that of an exemplary patriot, played out against the backdrop of the changing fortunes of America and the American military. It is also a stunning indictment of the Pentagon's fundamental misunderstanding of the Vietnam conflict and of the bureaucracy of self-interest that fueled the war.

New York Times best seller. A Military Book Club Main Selection. A number-one Amazon.com best seller in Korean War Personal Narratives.

About Faith" is, without a doubt, an amazing read. From the onset, the narration is compelling and captures the essence of the subject matter in an exemplary manner. I found myself so engrossed in its pages that I devoured the entire book within a week—a truly exceptional feat for me.

The book provides profound insights into the inner workings of an organization, shedding light on its intricacies and nuances.
As I delved deeper, I was struck by the parallels I could draw between the depicted organization and several others I'm familiar with.

For those considering the audiobook version, though 40 hours might seem daunting at first glance, I assure you, every minute spent is worthwhile.

In conclusion, "About Faith" is a thoroughly enlightening and absorbing read.

Amazing
