They Marched Into Sunlight

By David Maraniss

I bought this book after watching American Experience:Two Days in October on PBS last week. It covers events that occurred on the same two days in October 1967. A protest at Univ of Wisc that turned violent & an ambush of american troops in vietnam that was led by an incompetant officer. Both resulted in cover-ups. It covers the stories from both sides. The PBS show was eerie because of all the issues that are so relevant today; anti-war protests, misguided military strategy, officials covering their butts, etc.

I have to finish "Wicked" before I can start a new book though.
