Dan Moore joined the Marines to serve in Vietnam and contribute to
the anticipated American victory over communism. After completing
officer training and artillery school, he deployed as a forward
observer with an infantry company. His letters home described
day-to-day events and revealed a growing skepticism about the war.
During the Battle of Hue City, Moore lost his assistant forward
observer, soon followed by another close friend. Fighting to
maintain equilibrium, he suppressed his critical views of the war,
even after returning home to oversee Marine recruit training. His
memoir unpacks his letters, his recollections of the war and 50
years of introspection.
