5.00Bao Nguyen was great! He laid out the facts as they were known to the people who were involved. I suggest that anyone who decides to visit here or not to read the book "The Tunnels of Cu Chi: A Harrowing Account of America's Tunnel Rats in the Underground Battlefields of Vietnam" as it also tries to tell the story from the perspective of those involved.
