Our Vietnam Wars, Volume 2

Want to know what Vietnam was really like?




Real stories and real people, in their own words, caught up in an all too real war. From the Delta to the DMZ, come walk in their boots.




This is volume 2 of a 4 volume series, but they are not just more war books. They tell the personal stories of 100 veterans, men and women, who served there. 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 of us 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. Whether we were truck drivers, 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.




They 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. Like Doritos, try a few and you won't be able to stop.




From a Marine ambulance driver at Khe Sanh, Special Ops troops fighting a guerrilla war against the VC and NVA, Recon pilots, artillerymen on Christmas Eve, a Navy seaman below decks fighting a catastrophic fire on the USS Oriskany, a New Zealand artillery unit firing round after round to stop an NVA assault, Marine Corpsmen saving the wounded under fire, patrolling the jungle with New Zealand infantry, walking into Khe Sanh with the 1st Cav as they broke the siege, riding in an APC with the armored cav across the hills in I Corps, being shot down in Cambodia with a Huey pilot, plus cooks, clerks, truck drivers, and gunship pilots, combat medics, and Marine grunts and many more -- from the Delta to the DMZ and Thailand to the South China Sea, this book puts you in their boots.




While most Vietnam War books only cover one guy, one unit, one place, and one year, spanning all the war years from 1962 to 1975. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some were legit war heroes, but most were just trying to survive. As everyone "in-country" knew, Vietnam mostly came down to luck, good or bad. If you were there, you understand. If you weren't, grab a copy and start reading anywhere in the book.
