This edition of Vietnam War: The Music – “All-Time Top 20 Countdown” was spawned from a book that I recently read entitled “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place” by Doug Bradley (a Vietnam Vet) and Craig Werner (a professor of Afro-American studies at Univ. of Wisconsin/Madison) (Published 2015). I highly recommend it. Add it to your reading list.
