It is no surprise that Kent White weaves a tight tale of military suspense and intrigue: he writes what he knows. FORGOTTEN is written with passion and sharp observation, but it’s more than a good story. It’s an important one with big and worthy goals: to keep alive the stories and legacies of a group of men who deserved to be remembered.
