Our Vietnam Wars, Volume 2: As told by more veterans who served

Want to know what Vietnam was really like?

From a Marine sniper in Hue, to a medevac dust-off pilot going into a hot LZ, Navy Corpsmen, A-6 pilots taking out bridges and SAM sites in North Vietnam, a nurse on the USS Repose, combat medics deep in the jungle, machine gunners in I-Corps, mechanics working on the rolling deck of a big carrier on Yankee Station, squad leaders on infantry sweeps in “the Arizona Territory,” truck convoys under fire, riverine patrol boats in the Delta, Coast Guard “Jolly Green” search and rescue helicopters pulling downed pilots from the jungle, tank platoons in an all-out armor assault, Loach pilots in hunter-killer teams, and many more -- from the Delta to the DMZ, this book puts you in their boots.

Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some were true war heroes, but most were just trying to survive. As everyone “in-country” knew, Vietnam was all about luck, good or bad. If you were there, you understand. If you weren’t, grab a copy and start reading, anywhere in the book. The stories are like Doritos. Try a few and you won’t be able to stop.

Like any war, none of us who served had much if any control over our fates. We went where they told us to go, did what they told us to do, and over 58,200 of us paid the ultimate price. Now, 50 years later, the war continues to take its toll on many who did come home, with PTSD and Agent Orange induced diabetes, heart disease, neuropathy, leukemia, Hodgkin’s Disease, and many forms of cancer. As they say, “Vietnam is the gift that keeps on giving.”

This is the audio edition of Volume 2 of my popular 4-volume book series, Our Vietnam Wars. It was so titled because everyone who served there fought a different war depending on the year, our branch and unit, location, sex, race, and rank. This volume 60 Stories, 271 photographs you can't appreciate from just the audio book alone. The book has 4.6 Stars on 631 Amazon customer reviews.
