Most could not say what they were doing or did and after some 40 years it is leaking out. These men were the top 10 percent of the US Military. That is a fact and not a TANS.
Written by men for men.
Now children, parents, wives and others get a view of what these men did while in Vietnam and around the world.

It's more intended towards ST than players, though (except for the first 2 chapters, which are a must for both players and ST), and it goes as far as describing Renaissance personalities, and giving some cool ideas about Scourgelings.
And excellent book!

But, there's a lot more to this book. Dottie talks about many of her life experiences, the lessons she's learned, the wisdom she's gained, her personal heroes and gurus. The index is actually suprisingly educational.
So, while you may buy the book to satisfy your curiousity,
you may enjoy the rest of it more than you ever expect.
And you've got to love the name of Dottie's publishing company.

By focusing mainly on the investigation and trial rather than detailling a blow by blow account of the murders themselves, Terry Sullivan creates an intriguing picture of Gacy without being relying on shock value. He touches on all the areas that interested me, including the forensic investigation, the legal maneuverings, and a brief but interesting psychological profile.
Killer Clown provides alarming insight into the mind of a very creepy man. I just recommend reading it behind something less garish, particularly on the train since strange people will talk to you otherwise.
This is a remarkable book that sets the standard for true crime stories. More than just an insider, Sullivan played an active role in the Gacy investigation. Kozenczak, then a 16-year veteran of the DPPD, came to Sullivan and his assistants early in the investigation into Rob Piest's disappearance to seek advice on how to deal with Gacy, who was emerging as their prime suspect. Sullivan was thus a participant in the entire case, including Gacy's trial, and he presents a vast amount of information here in Killer Clown.
In this book, Sullivan (writing with Peter T. Maiken) paints the most comprehensive and accurate picture of Gacy that has ever emerged. It can be roughly divided into three parts: the investigation surrounding the disappearance of Rob Piest, the discovery of bodies on Gacy's property and the painstaking investigations into Gacy's past, and Gacy's trial and convictions for murder. For some, this book is "boring" because it spends too many pages discussing the police investigation. In fact, Sullivan actually does a service to true crime readers everywhere by detailing the interaction between a suspect and the police and how the investigation can be shaped by it.
And there is more than enough cruelty, sexual sadism, and lurid details in these pages for even the most seasoned true crime fan. Sullivan discusses the fates of many of Gacy's known victims -- how they were tortured before and during sex, how they were killed and how they were buried beneath Gacy's house, some in graves that they themselves had dug! In fact, after reading this book, one senses that Sullivan could only reveal so much in his writing without crossing the line into bad taste or sheer shock value; he himself writes that he begun to wonder "if there was any limit to [Gacy's] brutality."
A true story that reads like a novel, this book also has a huge cast of characters, from investigators to friends and neighbors to the victim's families. It's an exceptional account of an exceptionally evil man. I recommend it highly.

Its most significant negative is length. The authors appear to persuade primarily by the sheer size of the book, because once you read it you'll see much of the argumentation repeated among different authors. What I realized after reading this book are the following 5 points. Their argument for pre-fall male headship is weak; their arguments against God's uses of women in the New Testament are weak; they disregard the equality of spiritual gifts in 1 Cor. 12, Eph. 4, and Rom. 12.; they disregard the anti-discrimination of Gal. 3:28; and they disregard the co-authority and co-equality of Gen. 1:26-27.
Still, to solidify one's belief in the equality and freedom of roles for all humans and to be able to argue with someone who doesn't, this book is good reading.
This is a scholarly read and deals with Greek texts occassionally as well as theological concepts foreign sometimes to those not inclined to deeper theological issues. With that mentioned, this is very much worth the time investment.
