Kenneth Rosenberg's Enemies: A War Story is a gripping and thought-provoking account of two soldiers from opposing sides of the Vietnam War who find themselves thrown together in a life-altering encounter. This powerful book will challenge your assumptions about war and the nature of human conflict.

Rosenberg, a former Army chaplain, tells the story of Father Vincent Capodanno, a Catholic priest who served as a Navy chaplain during the Vietnam War, and Nguyen Van Nhung, a young Vietnamese communist soldier. In 1967, Capodanno and Nhung's paths crossed in the village of Tra Binh Dong, where they were both involved in a fierce battle. Capodanno was killed in the fighting, but Nhung survived.

Years later, Nhung learned that Capodanno had been declared a saint by the Catholic Church. Intrigued, Nhung reached out to Rosenberg, who had written a book about Capodanno's life. Nhung and Rosenberg began a correspondence, and eventually met in person.

Their meeting was a powerful and emotional experience for both men. Nhung shared his memories of Capodanno, and Rosenberg learned about Nhung's own experiences as a soldier. They talked about the war, about their own beliefs, and about the possibility of reconciliation.

Enemies is a powerful and moving story about the transformative power of forgiveness and reconciliation. It is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.
