Description:"We live together under the thick canopy, eachsearching for the other; the same leeches and mosquitoes that feed onour blood feed on his blood." John Edmund Delezen felt a kinshipwith the people he was instructed to kill in Vietnam; they were all atthe mercy of the land. His memoir begins when he enlisted in theMarine Corps and was sent to Vietnam in March of 1967. He volunteeredfor the Third Force Recon Company, whose job it was to locate andinfiltrate enemy lines undetected and map their locations and learndetails of their status. The duty was often painful both physicallyand mentally. He was stricken with malaria in November of 1967,wounded by a grenade in February of 1968 and hit by a bullet laterthat summer. He remained in Vietnam until December, 1968.Delezen writes of Vietnam as a man humbled by a mysterious country and horrified by acts of brutality. The land was his enemy as much as the Vietnamese soldiers. He vividly describes the three-canopy jungle with birds and monkeys overhead that could be heard but not seen, venomous snakes hiding in trees and relentless bugs that fed on men. He recalls stumbling onto a pit of rotting Vietnamese bodies left behind by American forces, and days when fierce hunger made a bag of plasma seem like an enticing meal. He writes of his fallen comrades and the images of war that still pervade his dreams.This book contains many photographs of American Marines and Vietnam as well as three maps.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
