Download or read book The Listening Post Reflections of a Vietnam Veteran written by Charles O Robinson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-01-28 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I started thinking about writing this book as a memoir of my experience as a young soldier in the Vietnam War, beginning in November, 1967 until November, 1968. It was to have been an effort to relate to my family, especially to my children, what it was like to have fought during the war. As I started trying to recall my experiences, I found that I could remember only a few scattered details. Somehow, it seems as if my entire life can be encapsulated in just a few memorable snapshots in a photograph album. So, the book became not only a memoir of war, but, a memoir of my life, and a reflection upon the war; my thoughts and feelings about what was going on, during the war; my life after the war; and how the two would became inseparable. I hope that in my doing so that those, who read this account, may understand a little bit better how my entire life, and perhaps that of my comrades, was influenced by events of that one year in Vietnam, in service to my country.

Download or read book Reflections On The Vietnam War written by General Cao Van Vien and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph forms part of the Indochina Monograph series written by senior military personnel from the former Army of the Republic of Vietnam who served against the northern communist invasion. “The Vietnam War was an unusual and complex experience. Directed and sustained by Communist North Vietnam under the label of national liberation, it combined the elements of insurgency and conventional warfare. It began with guerrilla tactics but developed into and concluded with open invasion. Basically, however, it remained an ideological conflict whose ultimate outcome depended on popular participation and support. The requirements to fight this war were multiple and challenging. Counterinsurgency demanded that we mobilize our resources to strengthen the regime, protect the people and obtain their allegiance, root out the enemy infrastructure, and extend our armed forces to maintain security over the national territory. All this had to be done in the midst of mounting political dissent and social divisiveness. To meet the threat of large-scale conventional attacks, we had to contend with enemy sanctuaries in neighboring countries, the inhospitable terrain of our extensive borders, and uninterrupted infiltration. However, our efforts were greatly restrained by limited forces and prevailing policies. To analyze critically the chain of events which shaped the final outcome of the war in order to learn from our failures and successes, we have drawn primarily on our first-hand knowledge of major events and our personal involvement in the conduct of war efforts. We hope that in addressing the Salient points raised in all previous monographs of this series with fresh insights, our work will be able to provide a critical, comprehensive view of the war experience on the South Vietnam side.”-Author’s Preface.

Book excerpt: Paul Drew could never have predicted the impact that combat and the underlying mood of the nation would have on him and his fellow soldiers. The social stigma still stings for most Vietnam vets, who were thought of as drug-addicted baby killing drones behind a war that was an embarrassing mistake and a failure. This is not a combat diary, but honest observations about a generation, those responsible for the conduct of the war, and the events that laid the groundwork for the state of the nation today -- a nation that still has yet to learn to hate war but respect its warriors.
Book Synopsis Vietnam & Beyond by : Jenny La Sala, Jim Markson
Download or read book Vietnam & Beyond written by Jenny La Sala, Jim Markson and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2014-09-18 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Vietnam and Beyond is a collection of wartime letters written home by Jim Markson from March 1967 to March 1968. Jim carried sadness and boxed-up memories from Vietnam. Perhaps, if it were not for the general divided and oppositional public opinion of the Vietnam War at that time, the soldiers returning home might have been able to open up and begin the healing process. Instead, those soldiers returning from Vietnam were afraid to tell their story. These fears bound each soldier to the other. We are very proud to embrace all veterans and include stories of veterans of all wars, including WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan to show the similarities of war and the soldier from one generation to another.

Book Synopsis Who'll Stop the Rain by : Doug Bradley
Download or read book Who'll Stop the Rain written by Doug Bradley and published by Warriors Publishing Group. This book was released on 2020-03-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In their 2015 award-winning book, We Gotta Get Out of This Place: The Soundtrack of the Vietnam War, Doug Bradley and Craig Werner placed popular music at the heart of the American experience in Vietnam. Over the next two years, they made more than 100 presentations coast-to-coast, witnessing honest, respectful exchanges among audience members. That journey prompted Bradley to write Who'll Stop the Rain: Respect, Remembrance, and Reconciliation in Post-Vietnam America and to further explore how the music of the era, shared by those who served and those who stayed, helped create safe, nonjudgmental environments for listening, sharing, and understanding. Those insights, and others, can help redefine America's public memory of Vietnam, one that invites a broader public understanding, sometimes written physically into the landscape via monuments, about what we revere and what we regret about who we are and what Vietnam did to us. A chorus of voices in Who'll Stop the Rain–famous and anonymous, female and male, veteran and non-veteran, American and Vietnamese–suggests new possibilities for understanding the legacy of Vietnam and, ultimately, for bringing the men and women who served their country in that controversial war home for good.

Download or read book Never Forgotten written by Jenny La Sala and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2015-10-28 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the Vietnam Veterans tours were over, they came home to find a country divided and a nation unappreciative of their service. How they were treated, how they integrated back into society, and how their wartime experiences changed them are just some of the questions answered, as their stories unfold in Never Forgotten. Told by the Veterans themselves, these are their stories. "The book Never Forgotten, captures 58 Veterans accounts and others on what it was like to experience the Vietnam War. In their own words, they talk about their return home, struggles to maintain healthy relationships, decades of recovery, and feelings of worthlessness. Many find emotional well-being and self-worth by helping other Veterans. Those of us who are Veterans or whose loved ones have served in war, know with certainty we are different when we return home, than before we marched off to war. Because of this difference, for ourselves and for those we love and enjoy having in our lives, Never Forgotten is a must read." ~ Michael B. Christy, Lt. Col. USA (ret) and Vietnam Veteran
Book Synopsis Reflections of a Warrior by : Elwood J.C. Kureth
Download or read book Reflections of a Warrior written by Elwood J.C. Kureth and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2007-11-01 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reflections of a Warrior is a Medal of Honor winner's true story—a Green Beret's six deadly years in the killing fields of Vietnam. PFC Franklin Miller arrived in Vietnam in March 1966, and saw his first combat in a Reconnaissance Platoon. So began an odyssey that would make him into one of the most feared and respected men in the Special Forces elite, who made their own rules in the chaos of war. In the exclusive world of the Military Assistance Command, Vietnam, Studies and Observation Group, Miller ran missions deep into enemy territory to gather intelligence, snatch prisoners, and to kill. Leading small bands of battle-hardened Montagnard and Meo tribesmen, he was fierce and fearless—fighting army policy to stay in combat for six tours. On a top-secret mission in 1970, Miller and a handful of men, all critically injured, held off the NVA in an incredible Alamo-like stand—for which he was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. When his time in Southeast Asia ended, he had also received the Silver Star, two Bronze Stars, an Air Medal, and six Purple Hearts. This is his incredible story.

Book excerpt: With American Football becoming an increasingly popular sport in the UK, concerns are also being raised about the health impact the sport can have on players. The scary facts about American football causing brain injury have become a hot topic in the media, especially as the same worries are surfacing for other full contact sports such as rugby. Steve Almond was a keen American football fan, but, in light of recent scientific studies about the prevalence of injuries within the sport has slowly turned against the game.
