In 1968, Theodore Hammett stepped forward for a war he believed was
wrong, pressured by his father's threat to disown him if he
withdrew from a Marine Corps officer candidate program. He hated
the Vietnam War and soon grew to hate Vietnam and its people. As a
supply officer at a field hospital uncomfortably near the DMZ, he
employed thievery, bargaining and lies to secure supplies for his
unit and retained his sanity with the help of alcohol, music and
the promise of going home. In 2008, he returned to Vietnam for a
five-year "second tour" to assist in improving HIV/AIDS policies
and prevention programs in Hanoi. His memoir recounts his service
at the height of the war, and how the country he detested became
his second home.
