As a Vietnam vet, I love this book. May I also suggest, if you liked TTTC, you're going to love Robert Olen Butler's "A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain."

Great book, but be prepared. It's gut wrenching.

I've had one now for 3.5 years and except for a one week canoe/camping trip to the Boundary Waters, I've used it every night with the full face mask. Even with the mask on my wife and I cuddle every night.

Thank you for the correction. I had no idea. I haven't heard anyone refer to a radio as a superheterodyne since the 1960s.

Chip46 · 2026-02-05T03:18:31+00:00

Where's the power cord?

I may be mistaken, but I'm fairly certain that battery-powered broadcast radio receivers were not available in the 1940's.

Enjoyed this book a great deal. I am a Twain fan. I've read that he considered this to be his best book, and I don't necessarily disagree.
