I know this author, and he originally only wanted to document his experiences for his sons. The idea was to teach them the reality of war without the harrowing emotional experiences the author lived through.

His misadventures in Vietnam remind me again how thankful I am that I was too young to serve. I highly recommend this book. It is a good read whether you served in Vietnam or just played war as a kid. Browse for similar items by category: Biographies & Memoirs Audiobooks Ethnic & National Family & Childhood Historical
