From the Delta to the DMZ, come walk in their boots. If you were there, you understand. If you weren't, grab a copy and you will, because they're like Doritos. Try a few and you won't be able to stop. The Vietnam War dominated my generation and affected so many lives in so many different ways. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted.

Want to know what Vietnam was really like? Real stories told by real people, in their own words, 100 veterans, men and women, caught up in an all too real war. From the Delta to the DMZ, come walk in their boots. If you were there, you understand. If you weren't, grab a copy and you will, because they're like Doritos. Try a few and you won't be able to stop. The Vietnam War dominated my generation and affected so many lives in so many different ways. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some became war heroes, intentional or not, but most of us were just trying to survive. As we all knew, Vietnam was all about luck, good or bad. And there were hundreds of different wars depending on where you were, the year you were there, your service, branch, unit, rank, job, and race. Whether we were truck drivers, helicopter pilots, infantryman, clerk typists, medics, engineers, MPs, sailors out on Yankee station, artillerymen, or cooks, from 1956 to 1976 from the Delta to the DMZ, these stories tell who we were, the jobs we did, our memories of that time and place, how it changed us, and what we did after we came home. Unfortunately, what little our kids and grandkids know of the war comes from books that only focus on one soldier, one unit, and one year, or movies like Oliver Stone's Platoon and Hamburger Hill, leaving people to think that all we did was crawl through the jungle on the Cambodian border smoking dope. But that wasn't how most of us spent our year. Hopefully, these books will help correct that narrative. ¿William F Brown is the author of nine action adventure and suspense novels on Kindle, including the highly successful Bob Burke series, and Our Vietnam Wars, Volumes 1 thru 4, personal stories of the veterans who served there. His ministry and suspense novels include 'The Undertaker,' 'Amongst My Enemies,' 'Thursday at Noon,' 'Aim True, My Brothers,' 'Winner Lose All,' and 'The Cold War Trilogy,' as well as Burke's War, Burke's Gamble, and Burke's Revenge. You can them out on my web site and enjoy!

Autorenporträt
Originaire de Chicago, j'ai obtenu un baccalauréat en histoire et études russes de l'Université de l'Illinois et une maîtrise en urbanisme. J'ai servi comme commandant de compagnie dans l'armée américaine au Vietnam et je suis devenu actif dans la politique locale et régionale. En tant que vice-président de la filiale immobilière d'une société Fortune 500, j'ai beaucoup voyagé en Europe, en Russie, en Chine et au Moyen-Orient, lieux qui ont fait l'objet de mes écrits. Je joue mal au golf, je suis devenu un coureur passionné et je peins des paysages praticables à l'huile et à l'acrylique. Retraité, ma femme et moi vivons en Floride. La meilleure façon de suivre mon travail et d'en savoir plus sur les ventes et les cadeaux est mon site Web http://www.billbrownthrillernovels.com, qui contient des chapitres en avant-première de chacun de mes romans, des interviews, des critiques de livres et d'autres liens.
