So Long, Vietnam 1.º edición

1970 was a time of great demoralization for the U. S. Army in Vietnam. The author served in the Army during that time and listened carefully to the stories of his fellow soldiers returning from the Vietnam War. Much of this powerful book is based on their personal experiences, as well as actual events. This is the tale of three young Americans, one black and two white, who are drafted into the U. S. Army, undergo the rigors of military training and are eventually assigned to a combat unit in Vietnam ? the hard-luck Third of the Eighth, Fourth Division. What if a group of infantry soldiers on the verge of invading Cambodia refused to fight? Readers will enjoy this gritty saga of courageous young men striving together towards a peace that had eluded America up to that point. They pursue their goal with determination, some good luck, and a healthy dose of humor. Join them as they set off on an odyssey that could lead to the end of the Vietnam War!
