Evans\u003c\/i\u003e is rammed by a ship ten times her size, sending her forward half to the bottom of the South China Sea and into oblivion. Seventy-four Americans are killed in the mysterious collision. The truth is confined to a footnote of the Vietnam War. Buried in obscurity even today, as the 74 names of those killed are not on the Vietnam Wall in Washington, D.C. In \u003ci\u003eAmerican Boys\u003c\/i\u003e, journalist Louise Esola has uncovered and pieced together a powerful story. Groundbreaking and astonishing in scope, \u003ci\u003eAmerican Boys\u003c\/i\u003e is a tale of heartbreak and perseverance. It's the story of a shattering injustice, of love and healing, and of a great generation of those who fought and vowed to never forget, though their nation has. \"... a classic story of men and war.\" --Tony Perry, \u003ci\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/i\u003e \"...new light on a tragic chapter of the Vietnam War.\" --Joseph L.
