Into the Green: A Reconnaissance by Fire

This is McDonald's stark & stirring account of his time spent as an Artillery Forward Observer in Vietnam. He captures the moment-by-moment immediacy of war -- the tastes, textures, colors, smells, & emotions that will be with him the rest of his life. McDonald describes his experiences, from the daily grind of military life to the terror & brutality of active combat. He talks about the courageous men who were his comrades & friends; & nights spent in the impenetrable darkness of steaming jungles beneath a triple canopy of green in the central highlands of Vietnam. This is an indelible portrait of the physical & emotional destruction that is the legacy of all wars.Cherokee Paul McDonald is the author of 'Into the Green: A Reconnaissance by Fire' with ISBN 9780756759827 and ISBN 075675982X.
