It was a war unlike any America had every fought. It raged for ten years, and when it was over, 58,000 Americans lay dead. The Vietnam War changed the consciousness of the military and the very nature of warfare thereafter. It was played out against the backdrop of protest and social changes in the U.S., but it involved the lives of young soldiers who faced death every day. This book is about the Vietnam War as seen and felt by the young men who were there. These stories of the battlefield and those who fought there are intensely personal. This memorable volume contains the vivid recollections of seventy-one veterans who were interviewed for the six-hour documentary series, recalling their times in battle: under siege at Khe Sanh; in ambush at the battle of the la Drang Valley; and during the Tet Offensive, the prolonged air war, the secret operations conducted in Laos and Cambodia, and the fall of Saigon. The Soldiers' Story conveys the emotionally wrenching, powerful accounts of that terrible conflict, letting us share in the life-altering experiences of these articulate survivors.
