The Big Buddha Bicycle Race was honored
by the Military Writers Society of America
with a Silver Medal in Literary Fiction in September of 2020

“A brilliant companion to the most iconic depictions of life in a war zone, including Joseph Heller’s Catch-22, Robert Altman’s film M*A*S*H, and Barry Levinson’s Good Morning, Vietnam. It depicts the sharply drawn characters, daily work drudgery, combat tragedies, political posturing, and the social upheaval of Americans in Southeast Asia in the heady days before the fall.”

Daniel Charles Ross, Military Writers Society of America (April 2020)
