In this memoir, Stephen E. Atkins relates his unique experiences
during the Vietnam War. Atkins was drafted just before he had
completed his Ph.D. in French history in November 1966. He entered
the army after his 26th birthday in February 1967, and, after his
stint in Officer Candidacy School was cut short, became a
non-commissioned officer and arrived in South Vietnam in April
1968. Serving as a pointman and sniper, he experienced six weeks of
frontline duty, averaging a firefight each week with heavy
casualties. With an advanced degree and a case of beer for a bribe,
he transferred to the 19th Military History Detachment in late May
and spent the remainder of his tour of duty traveling the Mekong
Delta, Plain of Reeds, and areas near Saigon. His memoir is the
result of a tour of intense fighting, careful documentation, and an
illicit diary kept at all times.
