Acerca de esta escucha

Que Son Valley is actually a large area of hills and valleys just to the west of Da Nang, Viet Nam. During the 1960s, units from the US Marines and US Army engaged the 2nd North Vietnamese Division in heavy and close combat. Our mission was to keep the enemy from capturing the cities of Da Nang, Tam Ky, and Chu Lai and to pacify the area. We did prevent the enemy from capturing these vital cities, but the area was far from pacified.

Many young, brave Americans were killed or seriously wounded in these hills and valleys in the belief they were helping the Vietnamese obtain freedom and peace. Although our altruistic beliefs might have gone astray, it was my honor serving with these fine men and women. I wrote this book in honor of them and to keep their memories alive.

Reseñas de la Crítica

Honesty

I’ve read many books on personal stories of the war. This is one of the best because the author looks at different points of view and admits his change of perspective on the validity of the war. It is important to recognize our failures as well as our triumphs, and this introspective experience captures the evolution of the 1960’s experience.

Respect

The author does not attempt to glorify or boast his experiences. He lays out his feelings and emotions at the time and makes no excuses for his shortfalls or misgivings. Can’t imagine the resiliency and focus it must have taken to walk point day in and day out in that war. Respect!

Great book!

I loved this book. It did a great job of illustrating what life was like as an infantryman in Vietnam. I’m thankful for men like Mr Cunningham.

Refreshing Telling of Nam Experience

Really enjoyed this memoir especially after the all too many tales of braggadocio and bravado as if US prevailed. This rings more true and tells of an average Joe scared witless and for good reason. Also thought the narrator was perfect and added humor, intended or not, to some of the inane absurdities of humans acting out in the worst of imaginable circumstances. I definitely recommend checking this out.

one of the very best of VNW.

one of the best of hardship stories imaginable in the VNW. what pure hell he and his best buddies went through. I picked out and was stationed in Germany but totally totally knew how lucky I was. I cannot imagine being a infantry guy in Nam. pure hell. Please listen to this book.....you will appreciate the very least of what you appreciate, let alone how great your life is. I cannot get enough of listening to the hard life our troops went through in that useless war. Love and respect every one of them. so glad I did not have to experience such a nightmare.

amazing story without the fluff

it is a good story but when you have someone reading it, they need to make sure they know how to pronounce certain words like Hue which is pronounced whey. This happens throughout the story on several words.

I kept finding time to listen.

My criteria for a 5 star book is when I keep finding time to listen, even if I know it will be 5, or 10 minutes. This was one of those books.

UGH!!! Started good… but became VERY cringy

Sucks!! I paid for this book. It started out well enough. But became so cringy, that I had to stop, less than half way through.

The narrator’s voice… cringe.
The story told as a young man, written by an old man… while still having the constant judging of his fellow soldiers, and the “gooks” (I wish I had a dollar for every time he said “gook”)… while portraying the “good guy” = CRINGE
