Autor Norman Black
en Limba Engleză Paperback
This volume of "Combat Veterans Stories of the Vietnam War" contains stories told by 14 men that fought in the Vietnam War, in branches of the U.S. military and the Australian Army. The first begins in February 1962, with a U.S. Air Force pilot that trained South Vietnamese flyers and flew covert air support for South Vietnam's military. The final story is told by a U.S. civilian, previously a non-combat U.S. Army Armor officer, who worked, beginning in 1966, for the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID); the Chieu Hoi Program, in II Corps; CORDS; ICEX; and the Phoenix Program, and also held the equivalent rank of major general. Other stories, in this volume, include those of a U.S. Marine infantryman and a U.S. Navy jet-fighter pilot that endured horrendous conditions as POWs. Photos in this volume were supplied by the combat veterans interviewed. Volumes 1-4 of this series contain combat experiences told by 57 Vietnam War veterans. Volume 4 also contains information about the armed forces of nations allied with the U.S. that fought against North Vietnam. Volume 5 contains the U.S. government's explanation for the war, a review of the war and U.S. armed forces in it, POW treatment, MIAs, the CIA and the drug trade, war crimes, PTSD, moral injury, and history lessons not learned. It also contains a brief photo overview of some events in South Vietnam, in 1968, a decisive year in the war.
