"A 'true-to-life' understanding of a time when success seemed possible..." -Richard J. Wall, A Reviewer There was a brief time in Vietnam, before the true American-Vietnamese war commenced, when the social and cultural influence of the French was progressively giving way to that of the newly arrived Americans. It was a time of relative peace, albeit interrupted by spasms of guerrilla warfare, amidst increasing political upheaval, and social change...and a time that produced humor, romance, and adventure. There was such a time, however brief, and herein are just such tales!
