Riassunto

"Dragon In The Bamboo" is not your typical Vietnam War book. It is about the "best and worst" of times a young marine grunt experiences in 1968. Not written in the usual novel format, it tries to convey and capture the intensity of Vietnam for readers, both veterans and non-veterans. Many of the veterans of earlier and later conflicts will find some common experiences here. Civilians may find a better understanding and appreciation of men and women in uniform. It is not a story about heroes, it is a story about common experiences usually forgotten or not told by veterans.

Su questo libro

L'autore:

Robert Dodd was born in Buffalo, New York. He dropped out of High School at 17 and enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1965. Originally too young (17) to go to Vietnam, he didn't go overseas until 1967. 1986 found him in a line company with the 1st Marines. This is his story of the Vietnam experience as told in a much different format than your typical war novel. It is intense at times and also shows that even in war not all human feelings are stripped away. The author holds the Combat Action Ribbon, the Vietnam Service Medal and the Vietnam Campaign Medal. He currently works as a Nurse Anesthetist., CRNA, in California. The title "Dragon In The Bamboo" is from the Vietnam Service Medal, which shows a dragon in a field of bamboo. He is a member of the Vietnam Veterans of America.
