Embedded reporter Scott 'Journal' Neithammer joins up with a new group deployed in the Vietnam War by the US Navy...the Seals in "The Plain of Reeds". They re not exactly happy with the older and paunchy 'Journal' tagging along but orders are orders. The problem is, 'Journal' can t really figure out what the Seals orders exactly are. "Lomax bases his fictional work on his real experiences in Vietnam in 1966, with powerful results. It is Lomax's concern for average soldiers that, in the end, makes his work significant." - Publishers Weekly
