Bookroo's summary

Ivan eagerly enlists to fight in Vietnam, inspired by his father's WWII heroics. Trained as a sniper, he excels, but the jungle's brutal reality shatters his expectations. As the war's true nature unfolds, Ivan must confront his ideals and decide if this is a battle worth fighting. Can he reconcile his father's tales with the grim truth, or will the conflict redefine his sense of duty and honor? The stakes are high, and Ivan's journey is fraught with moral dilemmas and unexpected challenges.
