Set as deeply in his mind as in the depths of the Southeast-Asian
jungle, a young American soldier embarks on an evocative journey to
a war that, for him, will never be over. I am that American
soldier. It's 1969. 18 and living in New York City the world was a
playground for Mickey, a naive Irish-American kid bored with his
life who felt he was ready for the adventures of war. His father
served in World War II, his brother a Marine in Vietnam it was now
his turn. His 365 days, in the hell that was Vietnam, builds in
torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia where
everything goes terribly wrong. Wounded, his friend captured, he
becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat
away from death. His adventure turned nightmare brings a visceral
understanding of the words penned by Thoreau, those very same words
with which his father imparted enduring wisdom throughout his
youth: ""Most men live lives of quiet desperation,"" especially
those at war. This emotional journey of self-realisation chronicles
the key perspective-shaping experiences of a U.S. Army grunt
fighting in Vietnam.
