About This Book

A Vietnam veteran recounts his experience through two tours of duty—early in the conflict and then in its final stages.

Fresh out of West Point, John Howard arrived for his first tour in Vietnam in 1965, the first full year of escalation when U.S. troop levels increased dramatically, from 23, 000 to 184, 000.When Howard returned for a second tour in 1972, troop strength stood at 24, 000 and would dwindle to a mere fifty the following year.He thus participated in the very early and very late stages of American military involvement in the Vietnam War.

Howard's two tours—the first as a platoon commander and member of an elite counterguerrilla force, and the second as a senior advisor to the South Vietnamese—provide a fascinating lens through which to view not only one soldier's experience in Vietnam, but also the country's.
