Vietnam: There AND BACK is a candid account of the time when he and several other Combat vets found themselves conducting operations in the jungles of Vietnam during and after the Tet Offensive.
Little did he know that the tide would turn a mere six months later as drastically as it did.
He did so at a time when the country was pro-Vietnam and serving seemed an honorable thing to do.
