Hardback. Condizione: Good. The ?Battlin? Bastards? of B Company, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, fought daily against a well-trained and determined enemy during their tours in Vietnam, 1968?71. Before the war, these men were brothers, sons, sweethearts, husbands, and fathers. Some were athletes, some musicians. Some were just out of high school, some in established careers. There is no monolithic ?Battlin? Bastard,? but when they joined the 101st Airborne Division?one of the most highly decorated divisions in the United States Army?in Vietnam, they united, fighting for each other, and fighting to return safely home. It was difficult to put their experiences behind them. As Bravo veteran, Terry Taylor, recalled, ?I learned at the age of 18 that you don?t have to die to go to hell. Vietnam was hell on earth.? And yet despite the obstacles, many of these men built successful lives post-war. Decades after returning from the war, when the men were ready to cautiously revisit their experiences, the Bastards started stateside reunions. From these reunions came the wish to share their stories with the world, to honor, to educate, and to inspire. The result is this book, written from interviews and diligent archival research, in which the surviving ?Battlin? Bastards? tell their stories of combat in their own words, and honor those who ?sacrificed for their country and their unit.? Additionally, the author of A War of Their Own has requested an update to the long description. Please update the final sentence in the second paragraph to: ?In the United States at the time of the fall, he tried to learn their fate with Chickering's help, but Cambodia had become a tomb.. …

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. The history of Fort Monmouth, New Jersey, begins in May 1917 when, as part of its wartime mobilization, the Army authorized four training camps for signal troops. One camp, located in central NJ, would eventually be known as Fort Monmouth, in honor of the soldiers of the American Revolution who fought and died at the nearby battle of Monmouth. This camp was located on the site of an old racetrack and luxury hotel, remnants of the famed Gilded Age at the Jersey Shore. Though much of the site was overgrown and infested with poison ivy, it afforded the Army significant advantages: proximity to the port of Hoboken and a train station, good stone roads, and access to water. Corporal Carl L. Whitehurst was among the first men to arrive at Camp Little Silver. He later recalled that the site appeared to be a jungle of weeds, poison ivy, briars, and underbrush. The Army Signal Corps carved a camp out of that wilderness, and trained thousands of men for war there. The Signal Corps also built laboratories that worked on pioneering technologies, like air to ground radio, from their very inception. Though the base was supposed to be temporary, it wound up outliving the war. It was for decades known as the Home of the Signal Corps, and, until its closure in 2011, was still innovating some of the most significant communications and electronics advances in military history. The US Army Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM), which left Fort Monmouth in 2011, for Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, can trace its roots to the establishment of the Signal Corps training camp and research and development laboratory at Fort Monmouth in 1917, and Netflix, the site's next owner, has a powerful legacy to live up to. From celebrity homing pigeons to the radars that detected the incoming Japanese planes at Pearl Harbor to early space communications and night vision technologies, Fort Monmouth, once called the Army's House of Magic, was the birthplace of innovation and technological revolution and the home of a uniquely diverse group of military and civilian heroes and scientists. AUTHOR: Melissa Ziobro is the Specialist Professor of Public History at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ. She was the last Command Historian at Fort Monmouth prior to the base's closure in 2011. 30 b/w illustrations From celebrity homing pigeons to the radars that detected the incoming Japanese planes at Pearl Harbor to early space communications and night vision technologies, Fort Monmouth was the birthplace of innovation and technological revolution; the home of a uniquely diverse group of military and civilian heroes and scientists.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Many of the men of Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, arrived in Vietnam green as green can be to a place they couldn't have found on a map. They were largely transported to Vietnam as individuals, rather than as units, but, through intense fighting at places like Hamburger Hill, a trust was developed between the men. Decades after their service ended, many of them continue to meet. They share their stories still, still seeking to bring some closure to that chapter in their lives and to honor those who sacrificed for their country and their unit. This book, which weaves together archival records with the words of the Battlin' Bastards of Bravo themselves, is your chance to join them on that journey. AUTHOR: Melissa Ziobro is the Director of Public History at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ. She also serves as the Curator of the campus's Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music. She was the last Command Historian at Fort Monmouth, NJ, prior to the base's closure in 2011. 4050 colour illustrations In their own words, the men of Bravo Company, 1/506th, 101st Airborne, share their Vietnam War.
