Neuware - 'An extraordinary, detailed and vividly presented first-hand account of the Vietnam War as experienced by one front line marine. especially and unreservedly recommended addition to the growing library of Vietnam War Histories & Memoirs.' - Reviewer's Choice, The Midwest Book ReviewThis book is about my time as a young enlisted Marine in Vietnam, starting with my experiences as a truck driver, an artilleryman, and then out in combat with a Rifle Company - and then what it felt like to be wounded and to flow through the hospital system.

I include many previously unpublished photographs to illustrate how our part of the war looked and felt.
