Masculinity in America has never been under attack the way it is today. We have reached the point where the term itself is considered toxic or offensive to many. American men are conflicted as to what their role is in society. The consistent message that has proliferated in our nation is that masculinity, by nature, is bad and is the root cause of many of the problems plaguing our society. Everything from racism to pedophilia has been blamed on "toxic masculinity".

Uniquely adopting a third-person omniscient point of view, Nightingale eschews the "I" of memoir in favor of multiple perspectives and a larger historical vision that afford equal time and weight to ally and enemy alike. Examples of the many perspectives based on real-life characters include: Hu, a VC "informant" whose false information led the Rangers straight into the jaws of a ferocious ambush; General Tanh, the COSVN commander; Major Nguyen Hiep, the 52d Ranger Commander; and Ranger POWs later returned by the North.

Il maestro già martellava il pianoforte – Vita e musica di Giacomo Puccini ricorda il grande compositore nel centenario dalla scomparsa. Un omaggio doveroso non solo a un compositore di grande importanza, perché è l’anello di collegamento fra la tradizione operistica italiana e la modernità, ma anche a un esponente della nostra terra.
