Book excerpt: A true, bestselling story from the battlefield that faithfully portrays the horror, the madness, and the trauma of the Vietnam War More than half a million copies of Chickenhawk have been sold since it was first published in 1983. Now with a new afterword by the author and photographs taken by him during the conflict, this straight-from-the-shoulder account tells the electrifying truth about the helicopter war in Vietnam. This is Robert Mason’s astounding personal story of men at war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 50 years, civilians have avoided hearing about the controversial experiences of Vietnam veterans, many of whom suffer through post-traumatic stress alone. Through interviews conducted with 17 soldiers, this book shares the stories of those who have been silenced. These men and women tell us about life before and after the war. They candidly share stories of 40-plus years lived on the "edge of the knife" and many wonder what their lives would be like if they had come home to praise and parades. They offer their tragedies and successes to newer veterans as choices to be made or rejected.

Book excerpt: When he left war-ravaged Vietnam some thirty years ago, journalist David Lamb averred "I didn't care if I ever saw the wretched country again." But in 1997, he found himself living in Hanoi, in charge of the Los Angeles Times's first peacetime bureau and in the midst of a country on the move, as it progresses toward a free-market economy and divorces itself from the restrictive, isolationist policies established at the end of the war. This was a new country; in Vietnam, Now, David Lamb brings it--and us--forward from its dark, distant past. From the myriad personalities entwined in the dark, distant history of the war to those focused toward the future, Lamb reveals a rich and culturally diverse people as they share their memories of the country's past, and their hopes for a peacetime future. A portrait of a beautiful country and a remarkable, determined people, Vietnam, Now is a personal journey that will change the way we think of Vietnam, and perhaps the war as well.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What happened to the people who remained in the former South Vietnam after the war ended in April 1975? Few of us know. The war-weary United States had turned its attention away from the region, and the Communist leadership closed Vietnam to Western journalists. For more than a decade, little was heard, but retribution against the South Vietnamese was swift and unending. Hundreds of thousands of former South Vietnamese military officers were sent to Reeducation Camps. Expecting a confinement of just ten days, most were incarcerated for years, suffering brutality, starvation and death. The families of prisoners had property and savings confiscated. They were denied jobs and medical care. They lived in poverty. Ultimately, nearly a million Boat People chose to escape Vietnam by sea, taking their chances in fragile overcrowded vessels. Thousands died at the hands of pirates and the unforgiving ocean. This is the true story of Quoc Pham, a former South Vietnamese naval officer, and his wife Kim-Cuong. It tells of the love between a man and a woman and their courage in the face of hopelessness. It is a story of a people of what happened in Vietnam while the world looked away.

Download or read book Life After Vietnam written by David R. Harris and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Life After Vietnam relates the stories of 15 Vietnam veterans. Their stories focus on how serving in Vietnam impacted their lives when they returned home. Sadly, two were killed in action and did not return home. Another, a South Vietnamese pilot, was left behind and did not get to America until fourteen years after U.S. forces withdrew. The stories include those of an Army nurse; a Navy lieutenant who became a rear admiral; a sniper; a Coastie; a "hippy"'; a Marine whose brother was an Air Force pilot who was shot down and became a MIA BNR (Body Not Recovered) until just recently; two career Army veterans; a Navy "river rat"; a Marine; two members of the Special Forces: one is a bronze star recipient and the other was among the first to be sent to Vietnam. Their exposure to combat covers a wide spectrum. Although what they encountered during their Vietnam tours vary widely, what they experienced when they returned home did not. They were all greeted with a disinterested and an unappreciative public. They were ignored and often treated with contempt for having participated in an unpopular war. A few managed to settle into life after Vietnam quickly, others struggled. Some suffered from the effects of PTSD and continue to deal with it today. Most were exposed to Agent Orange and many still suffer from illnesses caused by the chemical. They all bravely battled the obstacles they encountered when they returned home in their own way and for some, the battles continue. One thing is certain: their Vietnam experience has had a significant impact on them over the past forty some years and will remain with them the rest of their lives." -- Back cover

Book excerpt: This book revisits the plight of the secondary victims of the war: the wives and children of veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. The book explores the many changes encountered by traumatized veterans and their families as they face the difficult developmental stage of mid-life: retirement, the "empty nest syndrome," becoming grandparents, and, in many cases, separation and divorce. The author explains post-traumatic stress disorder, its causes, symptoms, and the devastating long-term effects, including domestic violence, substance abuse, and suicidal feelings. To illustrate both problems and solutions, she extensively uses interviews with wives of Vietnam veterans.

Book excerpt: "In 1981, while the country was celebrating the end of the Iran hostage crisis, an unemployed Vietnam veteran named Gary Cooper went berserk with a gun, angry over the jubilant welcome the hostages received in contrast to his own homecoming from Vietnam. He was killed in a fight with police. Joe Klein ... tells Cooper's story, as well as the stories of four of the other vets in Cooper's platoon. These stories all begin with an ambush and a grisly battle in the Que Son Valley in 1967, but Payback is less about remembering the war and more about examining its long-term effects on the grunts who fought it. Klein focuses on filling in the next fifteen years of these men's lives after they return home, and his account ... captures the struggles of a whole generation of Vietnam veterans and their families."--Back cover.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basically, my book is a brief autobiography. I was the oldest of seven children and had three brothers and three sisters. When my mother introduced me to people, she would say, "This is my oldest child." I eventually asked her to say "my first born" so I wouldn't sound so old! I had many amazing experiences growing up,and was able to work at a variety of different jobs in my adult life, learning many valuable lessons at each one. My husband and my children were the center of my life and I was so blessed to have them. I was a widow for twenty-seven years when I was fortunate enough to meet the second love of my life""Donnie and I were married last October 28th, after a year of dating. Donnie had been a hog farmer who lived just six miles down the road from me. He sold the hog farm a year ago in January, and now helps his brother run their cattle farm. We have been saying our morning and evening prayers that whole time and it means a lot to both of us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Published on the 40th anniversary of the end of the war in Vietnam, this book brings to life the experiences and memories of South Vietnamese soldiers-the forgotten combatants of this controversial conflict. South Vietnam lost more than a quarter of a million soldiers in the Vietnam War, yet the histories of these men-and women-are largely absent from the vast historiography of the conflict. By focusing on oral histories related by 40 veterans from the former Republic of Vietnam Armed Forces, this book breaks new ground, shedding light on an essentially unexplored aspect of the war and giving voice to those who have been voiceless. The experiences of these former soldiers are examined through detailed firsthand accounts that feature two generations and all branches of the service, including the Women's Armed Forces Corps. Readers will gain insight into the soldiers' early lives, their military service, combat experiences, and friendships forged in wartime. They will also see how life became worse for most in the aftermath of the war as they experienced internment in communist prison camps, discrimination against their families on political grounds, and the dangers inherent in escaping Vietnam, whether by sea or land. Finally, readers will learn how veterans who saw no choice but to leave their homeland succeeded in rebuilding their lives in new countries and cultures.
