War kills everything, beyond mere material and physical destruction! In this military thriller, experience the 1972 Easter Day Invasion of South Vietnam from the perspective of someone who had the unenviable job of pulling the trigger. Killing on a daily basis as a dissolving sense of reality sets in. Known as the gunline, positioned a few hundred yards off the coast, my ship had entered the fresh-air mental asylum of Indochina.
Disoriented and surreal, the crew watches tanks battle on the beach and napalm transform vibrant green landscape into molten red and orange as fireballs devour both oxygen and vegetation. Disillusionment sets in. With it, the destruction, exhaustion, humor, and terror of war. The astonishing intimacy among shipmates, along with their regrets and mental anguish, is underscored by the fundamental struggle for survival.In this true, historically accurate story, the author takes the reader on a psychosomatic roller coaster from indifference to reality. From combat to the best liberty ports in the world. From inner conflict and suppressed emotions to guilt, regret, and post-traumatic stress. From serving your country to experiencing scorn and hostility back home.In the face of such tragedies, stories perhaps, are the best memorials we have. In unflinching detail through vivid and poignant language, the author leaves nothing to the imagination.
