Soldier of the Airwaves

Defending Democracy One Song at a Time

De: George A. Smith

Narrado por: George A. Smith

A teenager from Amish country enlists as an Army DJ during the Vietnam War, beginning a life of adventure and a storied career spanning decades and continents. When he first opened his mic in Utapao, Thailand, he played music and dodged court-martial, unaware he was impacting troops and foreign nationals in surprising and unexpected ways. Find out how America's broadcasters in uniform influenced hall of fame rockers, shaped the attitudes of foreign politicians, and fought off censorship.

"Soldier of the Airwaves" brims with humor, history, and home from the jungles of Thailand to the beer halls of Germany. While it's true, some names were changed. Never piss off someone who drives a tank.

"I’m gonna bet you’ll love this book. It tells the same great story told in the terrific movie "Good Morning, Vietnam," starring Robin Williams." Former Commanding General U.S. Army Europe and current Network TV military analyst, Lieutenant General (retired) Mark Hertling.

Miliary years after the Vietnam War

Entertaining history of the military from the perspective of a journalist and radio host. Brings to life the years after the Vietnam War. Shows the advantage of traveling and experiencing other cultures. I enjoyed listening to the book.
