Keith Draws, Artist I have read many books but this one, a fast moving, exciting, page turner that I just couldn't put down. The narrative was not only engaging, but it touched me deeply on every level, because I heard ring of truth in the words. It turned out that the Author had actually drawn from his own experiences in Vietnam which allowed him to create a solid reality and strength to the main character and the extraordinary challenges he must overcome. Tristine Brookins, Avid Reader This story was one that kept me captivated from start to finish, and I don't normally read these types of books. The plot kept you wondering what was going to happen next, while keeping you enthralled by the action. This is one of the few books that I would recommend to friends and family because it was simply that good. A great story! This is the story of a young man who chose to accept his responsibility as an American and go to Vietnam. It's an action packed book, which highlights the dangers that many of our young men face when asked to serve their country in other people's wars. Regardless of whether it's your war or someone else war, when you're in the middle of the fire fight there is no difference. Surviving is all that matters. Mr. Lobeck has a story worth telling, and does an excellent job of it. This book is dedicated to all of the soldiers in my infantry platoon that protected me while I lead them in combat during the Vietnam War.  Secondly it is dedicated to the VA doctors that heard my story in counseling and my family that suggested that I document my Vietnam War experiences to help me let go of the pain I continue to suffer. And finally it is dedicated to the two women in my life, my Mother Irene Lobeck and my wife, Danuta Lobeck. Allan A. Lobeck spent 12 months in Vietnam as an infantry officer and saw 180 days of combat in his one year tour.  Allan participated in nine different major campaigns including the first night attack against the enemy and won Medals for Valor.
