A Vietnam Journal: Life at the End of the War - Terrance J. Brown

Descriere A Vietnam Journal: Life at the End of the War - Terrance J. Brown

\n \nBy 1970, opposition to the war in Vietnam had reached a fever pitch and those sent to serve knew it was only a matter of time before America called it quits. While 1st Lieutenant Terrance J. Brown was there, he kept a journal and sketchbook covering ten months of the Vietnam War as lived by a soldier. This book chronicles Terry's life as part of the war effort. He lived on bases near Saigon and ventured daily by helicopter into the boonies to collect information on roads, bridges, fire support bases, jungle clearing operations, and the condition of jungle landing strips in III Corps. His journal entries detail the beauty and struggles of this war-torn country, its people, and our military personnel. It also relates the exhilaration of flying in helicopters, the beauty of Vietnam, close calls with disaster, and the utter feeling of boredom while serving during the end of the war. The illustrations and photographs in the journal demonstrate an eye for detail and capture the essence of scenes and settings of typical life in Vietnam as well as the war itself. Readers will be inspired by the way he interpreted his war experience.\n
