Now in its second edition, Grunts: The American Combat Soldier in Vietnam provides a fresh approach to understanding the American combat soldier’s experience in Vietnam by focusing on the day-to-day experiences of front-line troops. The book delves into the Vietnam combat soldier’s experience, from the decision to join the army, life in training and combat, and readjusting to civilian life with memories of war. By utilizing letters, oral histories, and memoirs of actual veterans, Kyle Longley and Jacqueline Whitt offer a powerful insight into the minds and lives of the 870,000 "grunts" who endured the controversial war. Important topics such as class, race, and gender are examined, enabling students to better analyze the social dynamics during this divisive period of American history. In addition to an updated introduction and epilogue, the new edition includes expanded sections on military chaplains, medics, and the moral injury of war. A new timeline provides details of major events leading up to, during, and after the war. A truly comprehensive picture of the Vietnam experience for soldiers, this volume is a valuable and unique addition to military history courses and classes on the Vietnam War and 1960s America.

In his book Men Against Fire, [historian S. L. A.] Marshall asserted that only 15 to 25 percent of American soldiers ever fired their weapons in combat in World War II. . . . Shooting at the enemy made a man part of the “team,” or “brotherhood.” There were, of course, many times when soldiers did not want to shoot, such as at night when they did not want to give away a position or on reconnaissance patrols. But, in the main, no combat soldier in his right mind would have deliberately sought to go through the entire ear without ever firing his weapon, because he would have been excluded from the brotherhood but also because it would have been detrimental to his own survival. One of [rifle company commander Harold] Leinbaugh’s NCOs summed it up best when discussing Marshall: “Did the SOB think we clubbed the Germans to death?”

Some warriors are drawn to the thrill of combat and find it the defining moment of their lives. Others fall victim to fear, exhaustion, impaired reasoning and despair. This book synthesizes the wartime experiences of American soldiers, from the doughboys of World War I to the grunts of Vietnam. Focusing on both soldiers and marines, it draws on histories and memoirs, oral histories, psychological and sociological studies and even fiction to show that their experiences remain fundamentally the same regardless of the enemy, terrain, training or weaponry.

Since 2001, Western forces have been involved in a series of major military campaigns, primarily in Iraq and Afghanistan but also in Africa. For all the sophistication of the contemporary Western way of war with its digital technologies and precision weapons, infantry soldier have been frequently involved in close combat of an intensity which is comparable to the wars of the twentieth century. At the small unit level, combat has been as brutal as ever. Yet, in many cases, they have prevailed even when they were surprised or disadvantaged. How and why have professional Western soldiers been willing and able to fight effectively together during these campaigns? Through a series of rich historical and ethnographic case-studies, this collection seeks to analyse the experience of combat soldiers on operations in the last decade. The book explores the motivation, training, and culture of the professional Western soldier, highlighting differences and commonalities between the troops of different nations. This book is a project of the Changing Character of War programme at the University of Oxford.

The Iconic Warrior is a series of fast moving and informative historical fiction novels describing the combat experiences and exploits of protagonist Jean-Paul DeBert. From his youth Jean-Paul, or J.P. as he is also known, dreamt about becoming a great battlefield warrior. In 1898 Jean-Paul was eighteen years old, six-foot one inch tall, handsome, fluent in four languages, an avid runner, educated in a New York Jesuit school, skilled at the French martial art of savate stick fighting, and of French and American Indian descent. His passage from raw civilian recruit to battle hardened veteran began with his 1898 acceptance into the U.S. Army's First Volunteer Cavalry, aka Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders. The first book of this series, The Genesis of a Fighting Soldier covers Jean-Paul's service in the Spanish-American War in 1898, the last major battle between the U.S. Army and the American Indians at Leech Lake/Sugar Point, Minnesota, the Philippine Insurrection, the Boxer Rebellion, putting down the Pullman Strike, the relief efforts for the San Francisco Earthquake, and many, many more exciting adventures. The entire series faithfully follows the actual sequence of the wars, campaigns, and battles it describes. The books are not historically revised or rewritten based on the trends of the current culture. Consequently, they are not teleological presentism which looks at the past through the lens of current moral, social, or political judgments. The objective of the series is to promote and enhance professionalism in the military. Reading these Iconic Warrior books will educate the reader in military history, foster a grander vison of the way of the warrior, and increase personal combat readiness. They also promote the idea that how an army fights is based on the influence of its past military victories and successes. The books are designed to improve the readers' ability to think critically, motivate them to apply what they read, and broaden their perspective about life, relationships, and the craft of soldiering.
