This could be the most important audiobook you'll listen to this year. It isn't another war story. It is an audiobook about people, and it contains the personal stories of 100 Vietnam veterans who served there.
Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines from the late 1950s to 1975, we served from the Delta to the DMZ, and from Thailand to Yankee Station in the South China Sea. Infantry grunts, truck drivers, medics, helicopter pilots, nurses, clerk typists, jet pilots, mechanics, staff officers, repairmen, artillerymen, B-52 bombardiers, MPs, and doctors, we were black, white, and Hispanic, male and female. We were only in our teens and early 20s, but our stories continue to resonate through the years.
January 30 marked the 50th anniversary of the Tet Offensive, the seminal event of a war that dominated my generation and changed lives. Some of the men and women in this audiobook are true war heroes. Most were just trying to survive. If you were there, you understand. If you weren't, my hope is that through these stories, you will.
Breaking down the stereotypes, they tell who we were, the jobs we did, our memories of that time and place and how it changed us, and what we did after we came home.
More than 58,200 of us paid the ultimate price, but the war didn't end when the last US helicopter lifted off from the roof of the US Embassy in Saigon. It continues to take its ugly toll on many who did come home. Instead of bands and parades, we got PTSD and Agent Orange, diabetes, ischemic heart disease, neuropathy, leukemia, Hodgkin's disease, prostate cancer, and many more. As they say, "Vietnam: the gift that keeps on giving."

Reading this book literally lets you experience every type of war experience of soldiers from mechanics to infantry men to bombardiers to the guy working at the morgue in Da Nang.
The incredible bravery and heroics that guys experienced and did over in Vietnam left me in awe of them.
It also opened my eyes to the fact that no matter what assignment a soldier had, there were no safe assignments in Vietnam due to the constant mortar attacks on bases and long range shelling that the enemy did.
I also have a new found respect for the nurses, USO, and Red Cross women that honorably served over there under extreme dangerous conditions.
Looking forward to reading volume two.

This is such an important book about a forgotten, even hidden war.
Nobody wanted to acknowledge it, the soldiers were reviled when they came home, even veterans of previous wars shunned them.
I think it's only now that the war has become "cool" enough to portray it in movies, books and art, with people only now, thanking those veterans for their service.
This isn't a novel, it's a collection of stories of veterans of that conflict, not only American veterans either.
This is a collection of their stories and experiences told by THEM.
The narrator is very good, changing his voice as he tells each story, which makes it more immersive than a dry reading of stories and statistics.
I really enjoyed this book, apart from being informative, it was exhilarating, heartbreaking, funny, happy, sad , it was.rollercoaster ride of emotions for me.
Try to check out the authors Burke novels, excellent page turner's, with great characters!
A very important series!
