This oral history aims to bring to life the fears, the boredom and the pain of young men growing up within the Vietnamese maelstrom. Professor Bergerud lets the men who fought there speak for themselves, but his accompanying narrative brings shape and meaning to their recollections. The troops of the "Tropic Lightning" Division bore the brunt of the Tet Offensive, chased deadly shadows through the Viet Cong's infamous tunnels, and battled the enemy at close quarters during countless swift ambushes and firefights. Here are the experiences - and the insights - of the average soldier in Vietnam. The detail of their world provides a vivid picture of what the Vietnam War was really like.
