A Must Read!
“Being a Vietnam Veteran I’ve read numerous books about the War over the last 50 years. This is definitely one of the best books I have ever read about a soldier who fought in Vietnam. I encourage all Veterans to read this book. It’s a real eye opener. The author shares his life experiences beginning with enlistment thru the aftermath of his service and everything in between. The shocking events that happened during his service and his dealings with the Veterans Administration after discharge are extremely concerning. A must read for all interested in those who served in the Vietnam War.”

A gusty, honest account of war!
Wow! This author calls out well known military leaders by name and supports his claims with legitimate documentation to show just how insane this war was. He points out the ineptness of those in charge and the US armed forces questionable reasons behind our involvement which led to unnecessary deaths of American soldiers. He follows it up with how poorly Vietnam veterans were and are treated and how inadequate post war care is for those traumatized. His story shows such bravery then and moreso now in revealing the atrocities he faced.

Had to take it in small doses . . .
“Took me a while to finish reading your book, too many old memories and sleepless nights so I had to take it in small doses. Arriving in Vietnam, I was in total shock as to what the Army was really like, don’t give a shit attitude, racial tensions, drugs and alcohol, everything you described in the book.
We usually worked as 4 man LRRP teams on 4–6 day missions. My job was to brief teams on their assigned missions and debrief them on their return from the field.
Toward the end of my tour it got a little crazy. They started sending our teams on really dangerous assignments. Too far away from any support. If the team got into any trouble they would be on their own!!! After their formal briefing I would take them aside and tell them the real story. Hide out, no recon, just stay put in a good defensive position and we will come back in a couple days for you.
These officers were treating our teams as expendable and it was upsetting and difficult for me to comprehend. The war was winding down and everyone was pulling back so why risk these lives. I think it was for their own career enhancement.
I really enjoyed the book and love hearing about other veterans experiences in Nam.”
