In 1968, twenty-one-year-old Fred McCarthy transitioned from the
monastic life of a seminary student to that of a U.S. Army
helicopter gunship commander in Vietnam. Despite preparation from a
family tradition of decorated combat service, a strong sense of
patriotism, a love for aviation, and a desire for adventure, he got
far more than he bargained for. Written after 50 years of
reflection, reading, and study, this memoir tells both a universal
story about war, adventure, and perseverance and, also shares the
intensely personal experience of the Vietnam War and its legacy for
those who fought in it. McCarthy describes many of his missions,
reflects on the nature of being a combat helicopter pilot, and
processes the experience through his poetry, letters home, and
reflective analysis.
