Books with author William Garrott Brown

Want to know what the Vietnam War was really like? These are true stories from real people caught up in an all too real war. They tell who we were, our jobs and memories of the place, and what we did after we came home. From a Marine ambulance driver at Khe Sanh, Special Ops troops fighting a guerrilla war against the VC and NVA, Recon pilots, artillerymen on Christmas Eve, a Navy seaman below decks fighting a catastrophic fire on the USS Oriskany, a New Zealand artillery unit firing round after round to stop an NVA assault, Marine Corpsmen saving the wounded under fire, patrolling the jungle with New Zealand infantry, walking into Khe Sanh with the 1st Cav as they broke the siege, riding in an APC with the armored cav across the hills in I Corps, being shot down in Cambodia with a Huey pilot, plus cooks, clerks, truck drivers, and gunship pilots, combat medics, and Marine grunts and many more -- from the Delta to the DMZ and Thailand to the South China Sea, this book puts you in their boots. While most Vietnam War books only cover one guy, one unit, one place, and one year, Volume 1, Volume 2, and now Volume 3 span all the war years from 1962 to 1975. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some were legit war heroes, but most were just trying to survive. As everyone “in-country” knew, Vietnam mostly came down to luck, good or bad. If you were there, you understand. If you weren’t, grab a copy and start reading anywhere in the book. The stories are like Doritos. Try a few. I guarantee and you won’t be able to stop.

Want to know what Vietnamwas really like? Great Stuff! EveryAmerican should read them to learn what our young men went through. These are not just more war books. Real stories, real people, caught up in anall-too-real war. January 30 marked the anniversary of the Tet Offensive, the seminal event of awar that dominated my generation and affected so many lives in so many differentways. Some of us were drafted. Some enlisted. Some became war heroes,intentional or not, but most of us were just trying to survive. As we all knew,Vietnam was all about luck, good or bad. But there wasn't just one war. There were hundreds of different wars dependingon where you were, the year you were there, your service, branch, unit, rank,job, and race. Whether we were truck drivers, helicopter pilots, infantryman,clerk typists, medics, engineers, MPs, sailors out on Yankee station,artillerymen, or cooks, from1956 to 1976 from the Delta to the DMZ, thesestories tell who we were, the jobs we did, our memories of that time and place,how it changed us, and what we did after we came home. That was the diversity of experience you'll find in this book. If you were there,you understand. If you weren't, grab a copy. The stories are like Doritos. Trya few and you won't be able to stop. Unfortunately, what little our kids and grandkids know of the war comes frombooks that only focus on one soldier, one unit, and one year, or movies likeOliver Stone's Platoon and Hamburger Hill, leaving people tothink that all we did was crawl through the jungle on the Cambodian bordersmoking dope. But that wasn't how most of us spent our year. Hopefully, thesebooks will help correct that narrative. Over 58,200 of us paid the ultimate price, but the war didn't end when the lastUS helicopter lifted off from the roof of the US Embassy in Saigon. Itcontinues to take its ugly toll on many who did come home. Instead of bands andparades, we got PTSD and Agent Orange, diabetes, ischemic heart disease,neuropathy, leukemia, Hodgkin's Disease, and prostate cancer, and many more. Asthey say, "Vietnam: the gift that keeps on giving." William F Brown is the author of nine action adventure and suspense novels onKindle, including the highly successful Bob Burke series, and his free-standingmystery and suspense novels: 'The Undertaker,' 'Amongst My Enemies,''Thursday at Noon,' 'Aim True, My Brothers,' 'Winner Lose All,' and'The Cold War Trilogy,' box set.

Want to know what Vietnam was really like? Volume 2 is now out with 60 more stories, the same number of pages, but the stories are longer and more intense, and Volume 3 will be out this Fall.

It is a book about people, and it contains the personal stories of 100 Veterans, men and women, who served there. Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, from the late 1950s to 1975 we served from the Delta to the DMZ, and from Thailand to Yankee Station in the South China Sea. Infantry grunts, truck drivers, medics, helicopter pilots, nurses, clerk typists, jet pilots, mechanics, staff officers, repairmen, artillerymen, B-52 bombardiers, MPs, and doctors, we were black, white, and Hispanic, male and female. We were only in our teens and early twenties, but our stories continue to resonate through the years. January 30 marks the anniversary of the Tet Offensive, the seminal event of a war that dominated my generation and changed lives. Some of the men and women in this book are true war heroes.
