Historie

Want to know what Vietnam was really like? This is not another war book. These are the personal stories of 100 veterans, ordinary men and women, black and white, real stories from real people in their own words who were caught up in an all too real war. From the Delta to the DMZ, from 1965 to 1975, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Australian, and New Zealanders, come walk in their boots.

The Vietnam War dominated my generation and affected so many lives in so many different ways. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some became war heroes, intentional or not, but most were just trying to survive. As we all knew, Vietnam was all about luck, good or bad.

And there were hundreds of different wars depending on where you were, the year you were there, your service, branch, unit, rank, job, and race. But whether we were truck drivers, nurses, helicopter pilots, infantryman, clerk typists, medics, engineers, MPs, sailors out on Yankee station, artillerymen, or cooks, from 1956 to 1976 from the Delta to the DMZ, these stories tell who we were, the jobs we did, our memories of that time and place, how it changed us, and what we did after we came home.

That's the diversity of experience you'll find in this book. If you were there, you understand. If you weren't, grab a copy and you will. The stories are like Doritos. Try a few and you won't be able to stop.
