Randy Miller's Deadly Waters: The Vietnam Naval War And Its Aftermath is a fascinating fiction war book that describes actual events that transpired with the naval veterans who fought for their country. Unaware that they will be exposed to agent orange, which will have ramifications that will become clear later in the book, the 229000 sailors set out for Vietnam. To highlight all of this, it centers on Zachary Martin. We get to witness how each character differs from the others and their particular battles and motives. The book has recurring themes of combat, service, and betrayal.
This book seems to be a monument to the lives of those warriors who sacrificed their lives in the past while defending their country—a nation that, in turn, overlooked its heroes when the conflict hurt them and instead provided aid when they were in need. We can see the physical and mental scars on those who made it through the conflict.
Even though Zach Martin and Tally Godwin were apart for a long, their love eventually led to marriage. Together, they deal with difficulties such as the effects of the Vietnam War, which change the dynamic in their life.
I loved the book mostly because of its comprehensive, explicit narrative, which was so in-depth that anyone interested in history would understand every detail in its proper context. It was amazing how well-versed the author was in writing dialogue with accents. I encountered no errors while reading the book.
I give this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars because of the strong accented dialogue, which required me to read passages several times before I understood what was being said. Besides this, I found the book to have no other unlikable qualities.
In my opinion, people who enjoy historical fiction, especially those who want to understand the historic Vietnam Veterans War, should read this book.
