Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fair. Presumed First Edition, First printing. 24 cm, 406, references, index, spine cracked at p. 238 and reglued, usual library markings More than 60 Army and Marine infantrymen speak of their experience from induction, to the jungles and rice paddies of Vietnam, to their return to "The World." James R. Ebert holds a master's degree in history and teaches in Wisconsin. Derived from a Kirkus review: Vivid, creative use of oral history (here, with the remembrances woven together by incisive commentary) that takes the conventional combat-report format-induction, boot camp, raw recruit, seasoned vet-and breathes new life into the war experience. Ebert interviewed an array of Army grunts and Marines for this report, and also drew on interview-transcripts of South Dakota's Vietnam Veterans Oral History Project. He and his subjects paint the Southeast Asian battleground in its true, unglamorous colors: One soldier likens his first exposure to the country's heat `to having someone hold a hairdryer up to his nose'; the author says that Vietnam's pervasive odor was characterized by many as `seminauseating and often likened to dead fish'). In this Vietnam, grenades are dangerous to friend and foe alike (one soldier describes standing in a chow line as someone accidentally pulls a pin, killing two and wounding 26), and ``humping'' the bush is a miserable, surreal existence, but one that most grunts stick to in order to avoid being branded a quitter-the lowest of the low-even though most days nothing is attained but total exhaustion. Also detailed are offensive operations, booby traps, drug use, and racial conflict. As the soldiers' time in Vietnam gets ``short'' (Army men serve 12 months; Marines, 13) their primary aim becomes survival before their luck runs out. Finally, the soldiers fly home, muster out of the service, and then often must withstand criticism for their part in a hated war. Even knowledgeable Vietnam War-readers will find fresh material here.

Prima edizione
Hardcover. Condizione: As New. Condizione sovraccoperta: Fine. First Edition. A lower corner lightly bumped. From I Corps in the north to IV Corps in the south, and from the early days of 1965 to the American withdrawal in 1972, A Life in a Year offers a unique look at the grunt's war in Vietnam - as seen through the eyes of the soldiers themselves. The insights of these combat veterans are woven into the narrative, giving the reader a sense of what it was like to serve in an infantry unit fighting Viet Cong guerrillas and North Vietnamese regulars. Veterans can compare their own experiences to those of infantrymen who served in different time periods during the Vietnam era and in different parts of the country. Civilians and veterans who did not experience life in the "boonies" will appreciate the author's candid explanations of the war in terms that will help them to better understand the individual soldier's experience. This lively, topically arranged account will appeal to both scholars and casual readers alike. A Life in a Year is sure to become a classic and is a valuable addition to Vietnam War literature.
