内容简介:
“No heroes, everyone did their part, and everyone
was scared to death.”
They are the words of soldier Mark W. Harms in
1968, summing up his combat experience during the Vietnam War. His
stunning letter home is just one of hundreds featured in this
unforgettable collection, Letters from Vietnam. In these
affecting pages are the unadorned voices of men and women who
fought–and, in some cases, fell–in America’s most controversial
war. They bring new insights and imagery to a conflict that still
haunts our hearts, consciences, and the conduct of our foreign
policy.
Here are the early days of the fight, when adopting a kitten,
finding gold in a stream, or helping a local woman give birth were
moments of beauty amid the brutality . . . shattering first-person
accounts of firefights, ambushes, and bombings (“I know I will
never be the same Joe.”–Marine Joe Pais) . . . and thoughtful,
pained reflections on the purpose and progress of the entire
Southeastern Asian cause (“All these lies about how we’re winning
and what a great job we’re doing . . . It’s just not the same as
WWII or the Korean War.” –Lt. John S. Taylor.)
Here, too, are letters as vivid as scenes from a film–Brenda
Rodgers’s de*ion of her wedding to a soldier on the steps of
Saigon City Hall . . . Airman First Class Frank Pilson’s
recollection of President Johnson’s ceremonial dinner with the
troops (“He looks tired and worn out–his is not an easy job”) . . .
and, perhaps most poignant, Emil Spadafora’s beseeching of his
mother to help him adopt an orphan who is a village’s only survivor
(“This boy has nothing, and his future holds nothing for him over
here.”)
From fervent patriotism to awakening opposition, Letters from
Vietnam captures the unmistakable echoes of this earlier era,
as well as timeless expressions of hope, horror, fear, and
faith.
From the Hardcover edition.

编辑推荐
“Candid accounts by soldiers and support personnel of
their wartime experiences . . . This intimate peek at a
controversial conflict is an insightful
read.”
–Publishers Weekly
“Frank, unassuming prose . . . teeming with both
information and emotion . . . Readers currently concerned about the
war in Iraq will be touched by these thoughtful, humorous, and
horror-filled letters from an often underappreciated and
ill-treated generation of soldiers.”
–Booklist
