Summary: Don't miss if you've got a conscience and long for peace.
Comment: Peg Mullen is an Iowa farm wife whose son Michael was killed in Viet Nam. Her story was told by others in "Friendly Fire." This is HER side of the story and it's a powerful story at that. She documents in plain speak the terrible agony of a mother who not only has lost her firstborn, but who has to endure the obfuscation of the United States government in keeping her from the truth. It was Peg Mullen vs. The US Army and Mrs. Mullen won. Peg is a long-time activist and her crusade against war and other nonsense makes "can't stop" reading. There are incredible moments of pathos -- Peg's detached recitation of the day she learned of Michael's death -- and moments that cause your chest to swell with pride as when she toppled a candidate for a top defense post. Mrs. Mullen went up against the President of the United States and Mrs. Mullen won. You'll be better for reading this wonderfully moving, inspiring account of the tragedy of "Unfriendly Fire."
