The Viet Nam war is all but over, and the American troops are looking forward to coming home and getting on with their lives. But someone apparently forgot to tell General Rush. Incensed that his government has given up, he's determined to mount one more operation, if just to salvage a bit of national honor and personal pride. THE GENERALS WAR takes a comic and irreverent look at the kind of military thinking that gets us into wars in the first place and keeps us there long after we should be gone. Must reading for history buffs and concerned citizens.
