"Stolen Valor is a tough, courageous book, overwhelmingly documenting the
  fraud that has been so destructive to the true legacy of those who fought in
  Vietnam. Its central thesis should make American mainstream media cringe
  in shame from their decades of negligence and collusion in this defamation
  of those who served with honor."

 -- James Webb, author of Fields of Fire, and former Secretary of the Navy.
