In 1965, Marine Lieutenant Philip Caputo landed at Da Nang with the first U.S. Ground Unit committed to fight in Viet Nam. This book is the story of his 16 month Tour of Duty there, being mustered out of the Marine Corps in 1967, physically whole, but emotionally wasted with his sacred youthful idealism forever shattered. He became a Reporter for the Chicago Tribune and returned to Saigon in 1975 to cover the end of the War and the Great Exodus. It is also story of horrendous losses and lessons learned in slow, debilitating stages by men whose enemy was as much the Tropical Climate as the Ambush and Booby Trap, men who learned of Savage Death and Maiming at an age when most are concerned with Marriage and first Mortgages. Above all, it is a vivid personal memoir ad narrative of the reality that is Combat and War: the Boredom and the Bravery, the Sacrifice, the Heroism and the unspoken Fear, the Brutality and the profound Bond shared by Men at War 346 pages..
