Synopsis:<\/em> Rambo is a young man who wanders aimlessly over the land. He is a “drifter”. Rambo was in Vietnam, he enlisted to get to a better unit than he would have if he had been drafted. For his services over there he got the Congressional Medal of Honor.
\nTeasle is an older man who lives a quite life in his jerkwater town Madison, Kentucky. He is the Sheriff there. Teasle was in Korea. For his services over there he got the Distinguished Service Medal.
\nThe Problem is: When these two clash into each other, neither will back down and a war starts in the heart of America.<\/p>\n

My Opinion<\/em>: The general story is known from the movie First Blood<\/em> but the book (on which the movie is based – not vice versa) contains some important differences. For example: The story in the books takes place relatively shortly after John’s return from Nam. And in opposition to the movie Teasle isn’t the redneck, but both are very stubborn people who are embossed by their life’s experiences. The book always switches the perspective from Rambo to Teasle and again to Rambo und one isn’t as biased towards Rambo as one is in the movie. That also due to the fact that Rambo wreaks havoc in the book – none of the people who follow John to the ravine will return home alive.
\nThe book is easy to read and it’s always clear what is happening and where it is happening. I liked it.

\nIt’s a Long Road<\/strong> – Dan Hill<\/p>\n

It’s a long road
\nWhen you’re on your own
\nAnd it hurts when
\nThey tear your dreams apart
\nAnd every new town
\nJust seems to bring you down
\nTrying to find peace of mind
\nCan break your heart
\nIt’s a real war
\nRight outside your front door I tell ya
\nOut where they’ll kill ya
\nYou could use a friend
\nWhere the road is
\nThat’s the place for me
\nWhere I’m me in my own space
\nWhere I’m free that’s the place
\nI wanna be
\n‘Cause the road is long yeah
\nEach step is only the beginning
\nNo breaks just heartaches
\nOh man is anybody winning
\nIt’s a long road
\nAnd it’s hard as hell
\nTell me what do you do
\nTo survive
\nWhen they draw first blood
\nThat’s just the start of it
\nDay and night you gotta fight
\nTo keep alive
\nIt’s a long road …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
