Letters from 'Nam

This is one young soldier's life and war. COMPILED BY: Bradshaw Frey. SYNOPSIS: "I'm not the fun-loving guy I was when I left. Maybe if I try I can regain what I've lost . . . " At the idealistic age of twenty Bill Frey is sent to fight in Vietnam. Soon disenchanted by the war's grim reality he takes solace in writing home. As the world explodes around him these letters bind Bill to the things he loves most - his family his fianc�e - and they keep his dreams and hopes alive.

And they chronicle Bill's fight for spiritual survival amid carnage - a battle lost only when he fell to enemy fire while trying to rescue a wounded buddy. Here is Bill's actual correspondence. Through these letters you will get to know him love him mourn him. Simple descriptions of the life of an ordinary soldier they offer poignant testimony to the fury and valour that fill a fighting man's day . . . the grief that besieges his soul . . . and the longing that haunts his heart.

Goldman Peter; Fuller Tony
Charlie Company: What Vietnam Did to Us
William Morrow & Co 1983. Book. Very Good . Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7�" - 9�" tall. A photo of this book is available. Very-good clean copy of this 1983 hardback. Stated First Edition. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Number line: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10. 358 pages. Illustrated with photos. Tight spine clean pages. NO writing marks or tears inside book. Product Description There were no homecoming parades for the million men and women who served in the longest war America ever fought.the only war it has ever lost. This is a book about 65 of those nearly forgotten men who soldiered in the late 1960s in a gook-hunting dirt-eating dog-soldiering infantry unit called Charlie Company. They were boys then 19 or 20 years old on the average. The army snatched them up out of small towns suited them up as soldiers and sent them off to a place they could not locate on a map to fight a war they did not understand. CHARLIE COMPANY is not a military history. It is not a record of battles or a moral commentary. It is instead a chess game viewed by the pawns. It is a collective memoir of the war and the homecoming filtered through time and pain anger and guilt bitterness and forgetfulness. William Morrow & Co Hardcover
