A Memoir of the Viet Nam War

Resumen del Editor

"A combat veteran's astute look at the Vietnam War, both captivating and emotionally forthcoming." (Kirkus Reviews)

In this frank, engaging memoir, Captain Chamberlain chronicles the missions, personal courage and sacrifice of the Marines he was privileged to command; painfully recalls the unspeakable order he and his Marines were forced to obey; and the cover-up which followed. Nearly four decades later, Captain Chamberlain makes right what was wrong; brings closure to the family of a fallen and abandoned warrior; and attempts to put to rest the guilt which plagued his military career and life. Unlike most books on the Viet Nam War, this book is written at a tactical level by a Marine Company Commander who was there.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

GOOD DESCRIPTION OF COMBAT BUT A LITT SELF SERVING

HE IS ONE OF MANY OF US THAT HAVE CONTINUING ISSUES RELATED TO OUR SERVICE IN VIETNAM. SORRY THAT IT SEEMS TO HAUNT HIM TO THIS DAY

Brought back vivid memories

I was in I Corp in 1965, two years before Capt Chamberlain and thankfully did not have an experience as intense as his. His gripping story had me spell bound, especially when thinking how much the war escalated in the same area I had been in. The places were the same but the experiences very different. I was a USMCR 1st Lt. and found the feelings the captain felt about the disposition of the war to be precisely the same as what I grew to experience. Years later, I have put it pretty much all behind me, but it's encouraging to know I wasn't alone.

Reflecting back

I have read several books on Vietnam. I really, really enjoyed this one. A lot of the terms that we use bring me back to my days in Vietnam (1966 through 1967) as a military policeman with the 377 Security Police squadron at Tan son Kunut AFB Republic of Vietnam. Although, I cannot say that I saw all that the writer spoke to you. However, I can say I have seen enough. I recognize a lot of the terms and slang that were used in this book. It brought back memories of good and bad times. I reflect back on many of the young men and our allies that were killed in Vietnam and process through the base. Being a military policeman you see many, many things that you hide because of the ugliness. I salute the offer and his truthfulness about what happened to him during that time. I still, salute all of the individuals that serve this country during a very, very difficult. And our time.

Great story read like a G Rated novel

Enjoyable story the tends to drone on. At time lost my interest. Worth a listen .

Time well spent

Fascinating true story that needed to be told by Chamberlain. Gilmore’s Narration voice was complimentary to this epic story.

Honor

Captain Chamberlain a man of honor, integrity and nobility. A man anyone would be proud to serve under.
A true credit to the United States Marine Corp.

Hard to pause it!

I thouroughly enjoyed this book! The writing illustrated the story vividly in my mind and it was enthralling to hear the courageous memoir. It is extremely well written and the years of care, consideration, and research shine through. The narrator helps bring Doug's experiences to life and makes it an enjoyable listen. I'd highly recommend this read.

Listened to. The end

I live in Bentonville Arkansas, a police officer in Decatur. I enjoyed the audio book while out on patrol. Thank you for your service. You and my dad and everyone who has and have served.
