Synopsis
This volume brings together a series of accounts, from ordinary servicemen and women, detailing their experiences of the Vietnam War. Some are heroic, some are frightening, while others verge from the amusing to the nigh on unbelievable., A Story for All Americans: Vietnam, Victims, and Veterans (formerly titled, Touched by the Dragon ) details wartime accounts of average servicemen and women ? some heroic, some frightening, some amusing, some nearly unbelievable. The work is a historical compendium of fascinating and compelling stories woven together in a theme format. What makes this book truly unique, however, is its absence of literary pretentiousness. Relating oral accounts, the veterans speak in a no-nonsense, matter-of-fact way. As seen through the eyes of the veterans, the stories include first-person experiences of infantry soldiers, a flight officer, a medic, a nurse, a combat engineer, an intelligence soldier, and various support personnel. Personalities emerge gradually as the veterans discuss their pre-war days, their training and preparation for Vietnam, and their actual in-country experiences. The stories speak of fear and survival: the paranoia of not knowing who or where the enemy was; the bullets, rockets, and mortars that could mangle a body or snuff out a life in an instant; and going home with a CMH ? not the Congressional Medal of Honor, but a Casket with Metal Handles. The veterans also speak of friendships and simple acts of kindness. But more importantly, they speak of healing ? both physical and mental., A Story for All Americans: Vietnam, Victims, and Veterans (formerly titled, Touched by the Dragon ) details wartime accounts of average servicemen and women - some heroic, some frightening, some amusing, some nearly unbelievable.
