A Simple Soldier

De: Steven R. Fehrenbach

Narrado por: Virtual Voice

The United States Army drafted Steve in 1969. Like many young men, he was unaware of the consequences of being drafted until being sent to Vietnam. Although his father was also drafted into the Armed Forces for World War II, nothing could have prepared Steve for the year of duty to come. Growing up in a large family, he developed a talent early on for storytelling. His accounts of Vietnam will have you imagining him sitting across a campfire telling his story.

this is written as though a friend is,telling his story.

a great story. brings the war into real life for me. the writer has my thanks and respect.

Great story

Great accounts and details of the authors experience, strongly recommend this book, not a fan of virtual voice

Not a dull moment

One of the best war books I have read. Consistently interesting until the very end. Well written. Great narration.

Great short stories. you can learn a lot here.

since my husband is a Vietnam Vet, it's important to me to hear the stories of others. it helps me understand him and the world at the time.
it's a bit irritating to have the artificial person reading because it cannot differentiate different words that are spelled the same.

RAW and HONEST

one of the best Vietnam stories I've read yet riveting honest and holding nothing back

Awesome grunts eye view in the field

This first person account is one of the best I have read on Vietnam. As a cold war retired grunt myself I can attest to the craziness that serving in the Infantry is. In Vietnam it had to be totally nuts and this book proves that. I could not stop listening to it. Worth putting into your library.

amazing story!! must read/listen too!!

Great book! it will not disappoint. he makes you laugh, feel the suspense, sadness. all while painting a picture you visualize every word like you're there with him. thank you for your service and welcome home!

virtual reader

The content was excellent. the reader was distractingly poor. Even the non military words were mispronounced and the cadence was low budget.

The relatability

Thank you for telling your story. From one fellow Vet to another, Semper Fi brother!

Very good book

I have listened to alot of Vietnam memoirs. The virtual narrator is a little awkward at 1st but not bad. Regardless of that this has been one the best I have listened to. Great writing by the author. Amazing book, I highly recommend.
