Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

James Gibbores' personal history of his enlistment and time in Vietnam starts off and reads like so many others. Starting with a troubled youth/bad boy past into recruitment and training and then moving in country. To be sure he landed in Cam Ranh Bay in 1970 in the later years of a bad war. What makes his story so interesting is just how good a soldier he became even with all the partying, drinking and drugs that seemed so prolific in those years there. From cherry to team leader and keeping most of his people alive was a great accomplishment. His struggle after being invalided out and return home to work through years of public disapproval and PTSD and to return to society so many years later is another great accomplishment. I am fortunate to have been able to follow his story!
