Summary: The Petrified Heart
Comment: Five Stars isn't enough to express the powerful impact of this book. Charles Patterson has performed a tremendous service to all, particularly to all of America; war veterans in general, Vietnam Veterans in particular, the friends we lost, our families, and those who vilified us. In baring his heart and soul as he has, Mr. Patterson has managed to convey the breadth and depth of emotions--and lack thereof--that a warrior faces. I served two tours in Vietnam, during The Gulf War, in Haiti and again during Bosnia. I'm constantly asked why I continued to volunteer to go to war after being wounded in 1968 during my first tour in Vietnam. I could never adequately explain it. In the future, when asked I'll just hand over a copy of "The Petrified Heart: The Vietnam War Poetry of Charles E. Patterson." Someone has FINALLY told the world what Vietnam was really like for those of us who fought it. Thank you Mr. Paterson.

Summary: Wow!
Comment: I felt like I had stumbled upon a pirate's chest of fine jewels and priceless treasures when I read THE PETRIFIED HEART. Each word, phrase and passage is delicate, beautiful, powerful and crafted into strings of enchanting art. I was both mystified and in awe of Patterson's command and use of the English language. Mark my word, this work will endure as fine literature, long after we are all gone.

Summary: Poetry with the gloves off.
Comment: Petrified Heart isn't just another book dealing with the war in Vietnam. It's poetry with the gloves off. After reading the first five pages I was back in the jungle, a twenty-year-old corpsman.
Only a very gifted combat veteran could have written this book, but everyone who reads it will come away with a better understanding of what war really is--and what it does to ordinary people caught up in something extraordinary. This book belongs on the shelf of every high school library in this country. It ranks with the works of Catton and Kipling.
