Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: Here is the epic story of Vietnam and the sixties told through the events of a few gripping, passionate days of war and peace in October 1967. They Marched Into Sunlight brings that tumultuous time back to life while exploring questions about the meaning of dissent and the official manipulation of truth, issues as relevant today as they were decades ago. In a seamless narrative, Maraniss weaves together the stories of three very different worlds: the death and heroism of soldiers in Vietnam, the anger and anxiety of antiwar students back home, and the confusion and obfuscating behavior of officials in Washington. To understand what happens to the people in these interconnected stories is to understand America's anguish. Based on thousands of primary documents and 180 on-the-record interviews, the book describes the battles that evoked cultural and political conflicts that still reverberate. Review:"[T]wo compelling narratives...capture the Vietnam War at home and on the battlefield as well as, if not better than, any book yet written." Publishers Weekly
Review:"This is a concentrated, visceral remembrance of the Vietnam War in both its military and social dimensions." Gilbert Taylor, Booklist Review:"Maraniss..is a writer with a masterly sense of narrative pace. Moving between the campus at Madison and the jungles of Vietnam, with side trips to Hanoi and Washington, the tale unfolds with a magisterial sweep that recaptures the war and its era."
