Recenzje

"Captivating....It's hard not to admire [White] for his pluckiness in the face of bureaucratic indifference as well as his growth from a risk-taking adventurer into a humanitarian with genuine compassion for the Vietnamese whose lives depended on him." Mark Atwood Lawrence The Washington Post
