Decades after the fighting ended, these pages return to the war in Vietnam through the voices of those who lived it. Gathered from twenty-four longer memoirs and interviews, the selections follow infantrymen, forward observers, a reporter, a band musician, Marines, pilots and nurses. Each writer recalls the fear, boredom, loyalty and loss of service in the jungles and rice paddies, and how the experience reshaped the rest of their lives.
