Reviews
“Andersen’s book presents a side of the Vietnam War unjustly neglected in other Vietnam War literature. Adventures in Hell presents voices never heard before. Even the voice of Robert Flanagan, author of many short stories and fine poetry, speaks here in a new, fresh voice. The short vignette from his novel-in-progress (ultimately, The ASA Trilogy) provoked a great hunger in me for the rest of the work.”
—David A. Wilson, author REMF Diary
"This is an important and welcome collection of new voices in the Vietnam literature. The seletion shows both informed background and sound judgement on the part of the editor."
—John Newman, Professor, Colorado State University;
Curator, Vietnam War Literature Collection
Anderson is bringing you an uncensored and unadulterated vision of the longest and most controversial war America fought this century ... These stories are raw and painful in the same way that combat is ..."
