Reviews
"Doubek tells the story from his recollections and personal notes, calendars, photos, and news clippings...the book is a good read because Doubek, who was an important player in the Memorial's early history, describes the fervor, as well as the pettiness and rancor, displayed by those for and against the design, himself included"--The VVA Veteran; "a valuable contribution to the memorial's historiography"--The New York Review of Books.
