Relation Concering Books Beneath the Bamboo: A Vietnam War Story

Excerpt:

“I watched two point men take a 50-caliber machine gun bullet to the head, and watched the third being grabbed and taken behind enemy lines. Two of the enemy soldiers, which we often referred to as gooks, quickly came after me. As I quickly mowed them down with my automatic rifle, I crawled backwards away from the enemy gunfire, using my helmet to push sand in front of me as I went, which made it possible to look behind me. But as I looked back, I realized that my safety net was no longer safe. I saw my entire company falling like dominoes. Medics were running left and right, risking their lives to help others with bravery that even the most amazing soldier couldn’t hope to match. Some of the events I witnessed during that moment were beyond comprehension. I watched a young, courageous black medic take an 81-millimeter round to his head, and his whole body instantly turned to smoke. Young nineteen and twenty year old kids were crying like children, but fighting like someone had raped their sisters. So many things were going through my head at that moment, and in one single heartbeat I was overwhelmed with a flashback of my entire life. This is my story, from point A to B, of my life and times in the midst of hell on Earth.”

Write Up Of Books Beneath the Bamboo: A Vietnam War Story

👍 job. Well told story about the warLike story about the war. It seems like a forgotten time in our history. It was very easy to read.

I gave this 4 stars for the story, not the writing. Not an exceptional book but an exceptional story. Any autobiography by a vet deserves, no demands at least 4 stars in my opinion, and I guess a review is my Union. It was a captivating book, quick and easy to read. I'm going to let my 11 year old read it.

Book is a fairy tale,,I'm a Vietnam veteran, this book is a fairy tale, every picture he's in is flat ground with no jungle most likely in the central highlands, his clothes are clean, he says he was in the a Shaw valley then phu cat air base. This book is meant for no one who was there, way to much bullshit, and the bronze star with V device with more awards. If he did one tenth of what he says he should have the silver star with clusters

A bit of truismBeing a combat veteran who was there and done some stupid stunts just to prove himself to really no one in particular was perhaps the most foolish time of my young life. After all these years VietNam never left me, my memories are and always will be part of me.

You don,t have to be big in stature to have a big heart!This was a good book written by one, good brave soldier . This guy grew up to be a truly good man in spite of having the odds stacked again him as a youth. I grew up with a kid in a similar situation who became a tunnel rat. It did not go well for him unfortunately.

I found it interesting and horrifying. What we ask of our soldiers in battle is too much. My brother loaned me this book to read. He went to high school with the author and also served, not with him, but at the same time in Vietnam. My brother was a point man in the army and was about nineteen at the time. He contracted malaria and was sent to Japan to recover. That probably saved his life.

👍Good read that's all why do I have to type a long summary about a book just to return the damn thing
