Nam Sense
Author: Arthur Wiknik
Publisher: Casemate
ISBN: 1935149679
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 294
Book Description
A candid memoir of being sent to Vietnam at age nineteen, witnessing the carnage of Hamburger Hill, and returning to an America in turmoil. Arthur Wiknik was a teenager from New England when he was drafted into the US Army in 1968, shipping out to Vietnam early the following year. Shortly after his arrival on the far side of the world, he was assigned to Camp Evans near the northern village of Phong Dien, only thirty miles from Laos and North Vietnam. On his first jungle patrol, his squad killed a female Viet Cong who turned out to have been the local prostitute. It was the first dead person he had ever seen. Wiknik's account of life and death in Vietnam includes everything from heavy combat to faking insanity to get some R & R. He was the first in his unit to reach the top of Hamburger Hill, and between sporadic episodes of combat, he mingled with the locals; tricked unwitting US suppliers into providing his platoon with hard-to-get food; defied a superior and was punished with a dangerous mission; and struggled with himself and his fellow soldiers as the antiwar movement began to affect them. Written with honesty and sharp wit by a soldier who was featured on a recent History Channel documentary about Vietnam, Nam Sense spares nothing and no one in its attempt to convey what really transpired for the combat soldier during this unpopular war. It is not about glory, mental breakdowns, flashbacks, or self-pity. The GIs Wiknik lived and fought with during his yearlong tour were not drug addicts or war criminals or gung-ho killers. They were there to do their duty as they were trained, support their comrades—and get home alive. Recipient of an Honorable Mention from the Military Writers Society of America.

Nam, A Photographic History
Author: Gregory Louis Mattson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Vietnam War, 1961-1975
Languages : en
Pages : 608
Book Description
Both military and press photographers as well as soldiers and civilians recorded on film the harrowing events of the Vietnam War. From French Indochina to the fall of Saigon and on to the war's aftermath, from casualties to prisoners to protestors back home, NAM features the images and stories that document this important era. With 700 fully captioned images supported by an expert historical account of the course of the war, this wide-ranging book provides an unflinching portrait of the longest conflict ever fought by U.S. armed forces. The Vietnam War is without doubt one of the most significant events in the history of the United States. It remains the longest conflict ever fought by the U.S. armed forces and the longest war in modern history. More than 50,000 U.S. servicemen lost their lives during the struggle in Southeast Asia, but numbers alone cannot convey the impact of the war on the world's most powerful democracy. The tensions it created and the passions it unleashed threatened to tear the fabric of U.S. society asunder. The war shattered one president's dreams of a new society and destroyed the career of another. Carefully researched, minutely detailed, illustrated with hundreds of historical photographs, many in color, and with maps by the celebrated military cartographer Richard Natkiel, NAM: A Photographic History is both a fascinating recapitulation of the war, exactly as the world experienced it, and an important work of reference for laymen and scholars alike.
