There are many books about war. There are books that describe the
bravery and glories of war. Other books portray the warrior as an
"anti-hero." "The Pipes Were Calling: A Vietnam War Story" is not
either of these formula tales.
"The Pipes Were Calling" tells the story of a boy, 18 year old
and fresh from high school who is drafted and then sent to fight in
Vietnam. He has no combat experience or Hollywood scriptwriters. To
survive, he must quickly learn the rules of war.
Danny Murphy learns these rules, experiences combat, endures the
deaths of friends, and engages in the black humor of crises. We
share his experiences as he goes from "newbie" to veteran, then
finally to civilian.
Danny's story is told with honesty and humor, hopefully leaving
us with a clearer understanding of war.
