The final chapter of the original Vietnam Journal series is concluded in this collection of the Apple Comic series. The battle of Khe Sanh was a bloody siege as American troops were isolated and under constant bombardment for over two months before the siege was finally broken. Also included in this collection is the entire four issue series of High Shining Brass, the follow up to the original Vietnam Journal series. Creator Don Lomax has entrenched his Vietnam Journal as one of the most realistic graphic representations of the Vietnam War. Recommended by The Military Book Club and tabbed a "graphic novel you should own" by Entertainment Weekly, the Vietnam Journal series has proven to be both a fan and critical hit. "A powerful collection of stories and history of the Vietnam War." is what School Library Journal has to say about the series. Vietnam Journal will continue until all of the material is collected and Lomax has indicated that perhaps all new stories may be forthcoming.
