"Everyman in Vietnam: A Soldier's Journey into the Quagmire by Michael Adas and Joseph Gilch interweaves a macro perspective of American foreign policy during the war, with the individual-level perspective of one of the many soldiers who lived and died in the "quagmire." This unique perspective is made possible through the personal letters of Private James "Jimmy" Gilch, the late uncle of co-author, Joseph Gilch. Throughout his time on the ground in Vietnam, Jimmy sent dozens of letters back to his family in New Jersey, which detailed everything from the brutal, callous nature of basic training to the daily life of a GI in the jungles of Vietnam. Fascinated by these letters from an early age, Joseph Gilch poured over the nearly 80 letters ravenously. A graduate student at Rutgers University, Joseph has been working with Dr. Michael Adas to situate the story of Private Jimmy Gilch into the broader narrative of the United States' involvement in Vietnam. What comes out of this perspective is a truly remarkable and extraordinary picture of one of America's defining wars through the eyes of one of its many soldiers in a generation forever marked by the conflict."--Provided by publisher.

Meet the author, Monty Van Horn. He is just an ordinary person. He is a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, combat veteran, and a pastor. He is also a biker, hunter, mechanic, outdoorsman, your neighbor, a friend, and again, just an ordinary person. Monty spent 12 years in the Army and felt called to leave the military to pursue ordination as a pastor so he could return to the military as a chaplain. While those doors did not open, God did open other doors that guided him to become an ordained inter-denominational minister. The way God did that was unusual to say the least. The story is in the book. After being obedient to God and becoming ordained by God himself (you will have to read the story) Monty was still just a lump of clay on the table. God calls Monty into being a pastor of a church! I know right? God makes it clear that he wants Monty inside the church and no longer preaching just in the highways and byways! You have just got to read the story, it is amazing! So, don’t just open the front page and check the water with your feet! Dive in and get submerged immediately! If you are looking for edification, encouragement, confirmation, or just want an easy to read book, you have found it. Enjoy and may God touch you and guide you as you travel through time with Monty. Hang on as you ride back into the past then back again and what a ride it is!

In this raw and moving memoir, Claude Thomas describes his service in Vietnam, his subsequent emotional collapse, and his remarkable journey toward healing. At Hell's Gate is not only a gripping coming-of-age story but a spiritual travelogue from the horrors of combat to the discovery of inner peace—a journey that inspired Thomas to become a Zen monk and peace activist who travels to war-scarred regions around the world. "Everyone has their Vietnam," Thomas writes. "Everyone has their own experience of violence, calamity, or trauma." With simplicity and power, this book offers timeless teachings on how we can all find healing, and it presents practical guidance on how mindfulness and compassion can transform our lives. This expanded edition features: • Discussion questions for reading groups • A new afterword by the author reflecting on how the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are affecting soldiers—and offering advice on how to help returning soldiers to cope with their combat experiences

The Vietnam War divided a nation, but forever defined a generation of young men who put their lives on the line in the steaming hot, insect-infested, deadly jungles of a country the grunts ironically referred to as "the Flower Land."A Walk Through the Valley of Death tells the heartfelt, compelling, but often harrowing story of one such young man. In 1968, this sports-loving, All-American kid from a strong, working-class family, made a decision that would change his life forever. He joined the Army, leaving the comforts of the Bay Area for the jungles of Nam.The soldier's journey found him in pulse-pounding brushes with death in night ambushes, firefights, walking point and crawling after the enemy in pitch black tunnels armed only with a flashlight and a .45 caliber pistol. As a squad leader, his tour of duty also became a soul-searching journey as he experienced personal loss and began to question the meaning and purpose of the war.A Walk Through the Valley of Death follows this soldier's journey after the war, as he deals with the unhealed wounds he came home with: PTSD, as well as the chronic ill-effects of exposure to Agent Orange. But, it's also the story of one soldier's ultimate triumph in his long battle to build a monument to honor his fallen brothers-in-arms.A Walk Through the Valley of Death is an unforgettable journey that will remind you why we honor those who serve in the US military.

David Wiseman was the first soldier on the scene of one of the most devastating attacks on British soldiers in Afghanistan, witnessing the horrific aftermath of an attack on unsuspecting troops by a rogue element of the Afghan police, which left five men dead and nine wounded, shaking the British forces in Helmand to the core. Only a few weeks later, and haunted by what he had experienced, David was once again fighting shoulder to shoulder with his Afghan allies, but this time would leave the battlefield with a Taliban bullet lodged deep in his chest, inches from his heart. Helmand to the Himalayas is the dramatic story of his journey in combat, his agonising battle with physical injuries and psychological demons and his life affirming recovery as part of a pioneering mountaineering team. An exhilarating memoir of his gritty tour of Afghanistan, it reveals the day-to-day hardships faced by soldiers in battle, the horrors and absurdities of the conflict and the overwhelming challenges and dangers that have faced British soldiers tasked with mentoring their Afghan allies. With staggering honesty, David reveals how frustration and chance eventually led him to find salvation, renewed purpose and a sense of pride on the slopes of Mount Everest with Walking With The Wounded and an unlikely band of wounded veterans.
