Description
A new story of infantry combat in the Vietnam War
The best Vietnam War novels are more than a simple account of combat and are more personal than the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, Kennedy's assassination, Vietnamization, Jane Fonda or any other political decision, event or personality before, during or after the war that impacted how we perceive what happened in "French Indochina". This war story transcends the facts of the Vietnam War and is about our Vietnam Veterans in a deadly fight in which politics is meaningless, at least until they came home.
It is a memorial to our Vietnam Vets and a war story of determination, triumph and loss. It is a story of furious, close combat in lethal firefights, and it is a story of confusion both on the battlefield and in the minds of young men a million miles from their homes. Those that survive will have changed. Forever.
Read the highly rated story of US Army soldiers in battle from which half of all proceeds go to organizations that support our veterans.
After the furious battles around Dak To and the horrific fight for Hill 875, Youth In Asia is a new novella of young Americans trapped in the jungles of Vietnam's Central Highlands in a war they did not understand.Youth In Asia relives the friendships, loyalties and betrayals of young men in combat, and for those that survive, the memories they carried home.
Written by an infantryman who served as both an enlisted man and an officer in the military after the war, Youth In Asia is a realistic account of five men of the 173rd Airborne Brigade separated from their platoon in the darkness of a jungle night while armed with little more than M16s, a M60 machine gun, Claymore mines, and a desperate desire to survive. This war story is about infantrymen conducting air assault operations near the border with Cambodia as North Vietnamese Army units and Viet Cong irregulars are streaming east toward the coast to fight the Marines in the Battle of Hue, or south past Pleiku to Saigon in preparation for the brutal Tet Offensive of 1968 that broke the back of America's commitment to fight the Vietnam War.
