Amazing the guy has got a website. I remember he was supposedly jailed for having stolen thousands of library book during the 70s and 80s (guess that Bookman from SEINFELD must have busted him.)
I've read the Haford book, but for the life of me I don't know why Kubrick didn't choose NO BUGLES NO DRUMS instead. Easily the best VietNam novel I've ever read, and yet nobody ever adapted it. I think Coppola grabbed some stuff out of it for APOC (a lot of the narrator's lines are classics, like when he describes a fellow trooper's rebel yell as being so shrill that it "curdled my sperm.")
