Like many other young men during the Vietnam War, Ed Corlew
enlisted in hopes of having some influence regarding
assignment-safety and training. Instead he found himself in the
dangerous door gunner position and, soon after, the crew chief
aboard a CH-47 Chinook, 15 miles from the DMZ in 1967 and 1968.
Assigned to the famed 1st Cavalry Division, Corlew was shot down
three times: in the Battle of Hue, the Battle of Quang Tri, and the
A Shau Valley. This memoir began both as a journal and as
counselor-recommended therapy for PTSD. He earned four bronze
service stars for his service (an estimated 1000 flying hours)
during the war's bloodiest year, enduring enemy mortar and rocket
attacks. Engaging, frank, and full of action, Corlew describes his
many combat experiences as well as the emotional effects-all
through the lens of his Christian faith.
