What was it like to live through the only war America lost in the
twentieth century? Firebase Tan Tru answers that question by
describing one man's adventures fighting in Vietnam's Mekong Delta
during the peak of the war in 1969. A unique feature of this story
is that it focuses upon that rare enlisted man who was already a
college graduate, struggling to cope not only with the
authoritarian rigidity of America's Army but also the horror and
madness of the war itself. It describes both harrowing nearly fatal
clashes in combat and the numerous surreal experiences encountered
in that foreign land. If you are curious about how a bizarre war
like Vietnam changes a thoughtful young man into cynicism and
skepticism, then Firebase Tan Tru is a book you need to read. It
provides insights into the personal psychology of both America's
Vietnam era officers and the enlisted men they lead as well as our
Vietnamese allies and our Vietnamese enemies.
