Drafted in October 1968, John A. Nesser left behind his wife and
young son to fight in the controversial Vietnam War. Like many in
his generation, he was deeply at odds with himself over the U.S.
involvement in Vietnam, instilled with a strong sense of duty to
his country but uncertain about its mission and his role in it.
Nesser was deployed to the Ashau Valley, site of some of the war's
heaviest fighting, and served eight months as an infantry rifleman
before transferring to become a door gunner for a Chinook
helicopter. In this stirring memoir, he recalls in detail the
exhausting missions in the mountainous jungle, the terror of
walking into an ambush, the dull-edged anxiety that filled quiet
days, and the steady fear of being shot out of the sky. The
accounts are richly illustrated with Nesser's own photographs of
the military firebases and aircraft, the landscapes, and the people
he encountered.
