Ben Thieu Long struggled with intense, conflicted emotions in the final month of his tour. Anxiously anticipating his return home, he reacted erratically to threats to his safety.

We see more conflict in the hooch lately than outside the wire. “I’m with Luke,” Sergeant Kaminsky declared. John insisted, “This isn’t your fight.” The Sergeant stepped closer. “People like you are undermining our government.” “I don’t believe that ‘my country right or wrong’ crap!” Tucker scoffed. “Anybody in uniform who doesn’t support this war is a traitor. You’re worse than those anti-war assholes back home,” the Sergeant countered. “It’s a free country. I have the right to free speech." “You don’t have any rights. You follow orders – period!” the Sergeant bellowed. “You’re lucky that bullshit letter from the commie-loving Senator hasn’t been ripped up, Ben,” Luke interjected. Ben cringed. “That's private. It’s inside my footlocker.” Sergeant Kaminski pointed. “THAT isn’t private property. It belongs to the U.S. Government.” “Well, I still have the right to my opinion.” "Only if you keep it to yourself. We don’t want to hear it!”

Book excerpt: This is a memoir addressing the emotional and ethical effects of war. The format folds a soldier's stories of actual experiences in Vietnam 'between the lines' of letters sent home to his new wife. The stark contrast between those experiences and the content of his letters home reveals a tension between openness and self-censorship. The soldier's focus is to protect their love relationship, but he struggles with his own behavior in an environment of moral challenges. As he encounters social and emotional violence, his own actions trigger inner turmoil and weaken his spiritual well-being. This book is the second in a series, organized by the thirteen months of his tour of duty. Read 2nd Moon: Temptation and follow a soldier's drift into situations that challenge his moral convictions. These encounters begin his metamorphosis from faithful innocence toward detachment, as an internal battle rages for his heart and soul.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 13 Moons over Vietnam—1st Moon: Innocence Why another memoir on Vietnam? There are already hundreds of publications on the Vietnam War. 13 Moons over Vietnam captures a unique perspective of a soldier’s experience of war, juxtaposing more than 150 stories between the lines of 280 uncensored letters to his wife, who was pregnant with their first child. These stories, describing actual experiences, are conveyed with raw emotions of anxiety and fear, refuting the nonchalant tone of his correspondence home. The effect is a stark and unsettling contrast between what is written home and what actually happens. 13 Moons over Vietnam is organized as a series segmented by lunar cycles that symbolize the author’s struggles with identity and faith as he confronts progressive incidents of social and emotional violence. Begin with 1st Moon: Innocence, and witness a metamorphosis that spirals through a moral and spiritual minefield.

Book excerpt: Remorse is the fourth volume revealing the author's moral challenges faced during his thirteen-month tour of duty in the Vietnam War. Ben's response to temptations fueled an accelerating struggle over his values, identity, and spiritual well-being. He was increasingly consumed by emotional turmoil and transformed from naïve innocence to self-doubt and alienated detachment. The stories juxtapose the author's experiences 'between the lines' of letters to his new wife, fluctuating between self-censorship and unfiltered explosions. Ben's correspondence dropped to fifteen letters in contrast to forty-eight sent in his first month, reflecting his withdrawal as he hoped to shield his wife from the truth of his behavior and progressively disturbed mental state. Read 4th Moon: Remorse to follow Ben as he stumbles through a minefield of ethical trials which undermines his strength and precipitates a metamorphosis of spirit.

Book excerpt: 13 Moons Over Vietnam: 8th Moon Strife If love is a drug, then the separation from love can be an unbearable misery. Numbness, anger, recklessness, and self-loathing are typical emotions during this period. A person is vulnerable to erratic impulses, and their life may feel it's spinning out of control as they struggle to maintain mental and emotional stability. The 8th Moon finds Ben torn between clinging to the joyful memories of his R & R love rendezvous and worrying about the six months remaining in his tour. Heartache demoralized his spirit and sparked erratic behavior. Ben believed it was necessary to emotionally separate his two worlds and concentrate on his physical safety. He resolved to set aside his longing for home and focus on his immediate environment. Thirteen Moons over Vietnam is a thirteen-volume series describing a military policeman's moral and spiritual struggles during the Vietnam War. Although this is one soldier's story, these experiences reflect what veterans across generations have had to contend with during war. Ben Thieu Long (pseudonym) was unprepared as a young soldier for the conditions of war and faltered in the face of powerful temptations. A devout individual, his responses to moral dilemmas shattered his confidence that he would sustain his commitment to his values.

Book excerpt: Randy tried to encourage Ben in his current dilemma. "There are circumstances when all we can do is accept our conditions. It's important to trust in the Lord and have faith that things happen for a reason." "I'm having a hard time seeing the reason for what's happening." "I don't mean reason from a rational perspective. We have to believe that good can come from bad circumstances," Randy explained. "Great lessons and strength can come from terrible experiences." "We are in a perpetual hell and face a moral dilemma. This reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode where a guy is trapped in a terrifying environment." "Vietnam is a hall of mirrors. We can't find an exit, and the images are distorted moral characterizations of ourselves," Randy agreed. "Well, if things happen for a reason, I wish there was a less traumatic way to learn," Ben whispered. "Sometimes people learn their greatest lessons from the school of hard knocks." "But I'll go crazy before I graduate," Ben sighed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heartache: The Struggle to Protect Love The view that truth is the first casualty of war has a long lineage initially attributed to Aeschylus, the father of Greek tragedy. Our author poses that innocent love is truth's younger sibling and the second casualty. Love is the antithesis of war. Love radiates a protective and endearing orientation toward others, whereas war rides roughshod over civility and compassion. When bluntly executed, which is its very nature, war prioritizes the subjection or destruction of our fellow man. Love is an intense human emotion and a powerful influence on behavior. But, men take different paths to protect their spirit of love during wartime conditions. Some strive to sustain themselves by clinging to thoughts of love. They hope that focusing on love will provide a sanctuary from loneliness and the horror of war. Other men choose to bury their feelings, rationalizing their best survival chances will come from fully concentrating on immediate circumstances. Finally, another approach is taken by those believing they have the power to control the innate tension between love and war. These individuals kept their hearts open toward love while engaged in the violence of human conflict. Ben Thieu Long tried each approach in his struggle to protect love, with mixed results and costly consequences. War powerfully affects participants, as the experience can produce more emotional pain than physical injury. War mutilates the human psyche and leaves deep scars, while men are left vulnerable when their refuge of love collapses. One of the most damaging consequences of a wartime experience is the formation of a wedge partitioning a person's emotions into discrete, isolated chambers. Men may still experience love after a war, but some permanently have lost the fullness of their innocence. Instead, these men tend to withdraw to a corner, like an abused child nervously fearing the next painful blow. They lose their unguarded openness to others, e

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The riveting inside story of three heroic astronauts who took on the challenge of mankind’s historic first mission to the Moon, from the bestselling author of Shadow Divers. “Robert Kurson tells the tale of Apollo 8 with novelistic detail and immediacy.”—Andy Weir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Martian and Artemis By August 1968, the American space program was in danger of failing in its two most important objectives: to land a man on the Moon by President Kennedy’s end-of-decade deadline, and to triumph over the Soviets in space. With its back against the wall, NASA made an almost unimaginable leap: It would scrap its usual methodical approach and risk everything on a sudden launch, sending the first men in history to the Moon—in just four months. And it would all happen at Christmas. In a year of historic violence and discord—the Tet Offensive, the assassinations of Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert Kennedy, the riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago—the Apollo 8 mission would be the boldest, riskiest test of America’s greatness under pressure. In this gripping insider account, Robert Kurson puts the focus on the three astronauts and their families: the commander, Frank Borman, a conflicted man on his final mission; idealistic Jim Lovell, who’d dreamed since boyhood of riding a rocket to the Moon; and Bill Anders, a young nuclear engineer and hotshot fighter pilot making his first space flight. Drawn from hundreds of hours of one-on-one interviews with the astronauts, their loved ones, NASA personnel, and myriad experts, and filled with vivid and unforgettable detail, Rocket Men is the definitive account of one of America’s finest hours. In this real-life thriller, Kurson reveals the epic dangers involved, and the singular bravery it took, for mankind to leave Earth for the first time—and arrive at a new world. “Rocket Men is a riveting introduction to the [Apollo 8] flight. . . . Kurson details the mission in crisp, suspenseful scenes. . . . [A] gripping book.”—The New York Times Book Review
