Suggest Novels with a Vietnam War theme

[pooh_bah]

I'm new to this forum, so a big hello to everyone.

I'd be grateful for any recommendations for novels with a Vietnam theme and a bit of information about storyline / gist etc..
At the moment I'm reading First Blood by David Morrell. Although the book isn't set in Vietnam it raises some interesting questions about the war.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

The best book on Vietnam I have read is The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. Really artful take on the war from a veteran as told through short stories.

Thanks DoctorFunk. I've ordered this book and also Caputo's A Rumor of War which is meant to be good.

I'm going to read Catch-22 (hope you're enjoying it) quite soon and also Slaughterhouse 5.
