Description
This book tells the compelling story of the average US infantryman in Vietnam.
Beginning with conscription, enlistment, Basic Training, and Advanced Individual Training at the Armed Forces Induction Center at Fort Polk (the infamous Tigerland ), it goes on to explore the day-to-day realities of service in Vietnam, from routine tasks at the firebase to search-and-destroy missions, rocket attacks, and firefights in the field.
Weaponry, clothing, and equipment are all described and shown in detailed color plates.
A vivid picture of the unique culture and experiences of these soldiers emerges from their vernacular to the prospect of returning to an indifferent, if not hostile, homeland.
