War Stories : Interview With Vietnam Veteran: Vietnam War True Story (Paperback)

The United States deployed over 2.5 million soldiers to the Vietnam War and lost 58,220 of those soldiers. An additional 303,644 American soldiers were wounded during the war. The number of soldiers under 20 years old who were killed in action is 11,465. There were over 4 million civilian casualties on both sides during the war. Despite these figures, 74 percent of veterans say they would have served in the war again.

What was it like in Vietnam? This book is an attempt to answer that difficult question. It is written by an Australian Vietnam veteran who recounts the experiences and observations of his small group of infantrymen who fought the war on the ground in Phuoc Tuy Province, South Vietnam.
