In the spring of 1966 the Vietnam War was intensifying, driven by
the US military build up, under which the 9th Infantry Division was
reactivated. Charlie Company was part of the 9th and representative
of the melting pot of America. But, unlike the vast majority of
other companies in the US Army, the men of Charlie Company were a
close-knit family. They joined up together, trained together, and
were deployed together. This is their story. From the joker who
roller-skated into the Company First Sergeant's office wearing a
dress, to the nerdy guy with two left feet who would rather be off
somewhere inventing computers, and the everyman who just wanted to
keep his head down and get through un-noticed and preferably
unscathed. Written by leading Vietnam expert Dr Andrew Wiest, The
Boys of '67 tells the unvarnished truth about the war in Vietnam,
recounting the fear of death and the horrors of battle through the
recollections of the young men themselves. America doesn't know
their names or their story, the story of the boys of Charlie, young
draftees who had done everything that their nation had asked of
them and received so little in return - lost faces and silent
voices of a distant war.
