• "This is a sad and frightening book, and it should not be disregarded." --Tracy Kidder, author of The Soul of a New Machine and Mountains Beyond Mountains
• "It is impossible to read this book without feeling outrage and despair, for the story of Agent Orange is a tragedy that affects not only Vietnam veterans, but all Americans and their offspring." --The Saturday Review
