"It is a very readable and thought-provoking story of a young kid from Chicago forced to mature during perhaps the worst year of the worst war in American history."
"From Chicago to Vietnam is a heartfelt re-telling of a battlefield education. The author doesn’t feel the need to embellish his actions during his tour. There is heart and humor in the story but also the aching of lost youth. Duffy questions the anger that lay inside when he saw those protesting the war and excoriating him and his fellow soldiers. But overall Michael Duffy tells a story of a soldier and a war; he performed his duty admirably and tells his life story just as well. A moving autobiography."
"I found it so comforting to read about how a young man was able to go into a war and experience terrible things day after day and yet remain focused on a goal. I think anyone who reads this memoir can take away that lesson from it....
Whether you are someone who is interested in war or just want to read a true story, I highly recommend reading Duffy’s book. Not only is it extremely well written, but it has a refreshing perspective on war."

"...I highly recommend his book to anyone with the slightest interest in the role of artillery in the Vietnam War. Duffy tells it all and every page is of interest"
