Title: An honest & personal account of Vietnam War '67 & '68.
Product review: Birdwell recalls specific events of his "In Country" stint & manages to present emotions he experienced as a 17-year-old, in a strange place facing death for the first time. Watching his friends die & feeling his commanders were less than equipped to lead (partly due to the 6-month transfer policy), his unit was hard hit during Tet of 1968. For a reader with little background, this account offers a beginning place. While Birdwell narrates his year in Vietnam, a reader can learn the changes in the military before & after Tet and how individual soldiers were impacted.
