But OMG, it is electrifying. Even though I lived through that war, I apparently knew nothing about it. It would have been easy (and cheap) to stir up a continuous thread of outrage, but instead this monumental work stirs up a continuous thread of clarity and insights: \u201cOh, so that is why they did that!.\u201d\u00a0This should be mandatory viewing for all citizens of the US and Vietnam. \u2014 KK<\/p>\n<p><strong>Foam roller alternative<\/strong><br \/>\nI bought this\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2W4DUP2?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">orthopedic Stretch Mate<\/a>\u00a0more than five years ago and I still use it weekly to stretch out my back and alleviate soreness. For me, this works better than a foam roller because my clothing and hair don\u2019t get caught up in it. It\u2019s stiff and plastic, and not a one size fits all solution, but I recommend it if you\u2019re not a fan of rollers and want to try something else. There\u2019s an option to add on a padded cover which I have yet to try but ordered this week. Note: The Stretch Mate is $40 today without the pad, I paid $22 for it back in 2013. \u2014 CD<\/p>\n<p><strong>Power thesaurus<\/strong><br \/>\nI keep\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.powerthesaurus.org\/?utm_campaign=Recomendo&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=Revue%20newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">this crowdsourced thesaurus<\/a>\u00a0bookmarked.
