"A wonderfully written book that takes the reader to a strange time and place." —Eric M. Bergerud, author of Red Thunder, Tropic Lightning. A thoughtful, action-packed memoir of one American soldier's combat tour in Vietnam in 1970 begins with a tense ambush patrol and doesn't let up through a year of hair-raising night watches, soggy humps through the jungle, and deadly encounters with the North Vietnamese. The author served as a rifleman—as well as a machine gunner, tunnel rat, and demolitions man—with the U.S. Army's 25th "Tropic Lightning" Infantry Division and 1st Cavalry Division.
