Описание: The American war in Vietnam was one of the most morally contentious events of the twentieth century, and it produced an extraordinary outpouring of poetry. Yet the prodigious poetic voice of its American participants remains largely unheard; the complex ethical terrain of their experiences underexplored. In A Shadow on Our Hearts, Adam Gilbert rectifies these oversights by utilizing the vast body of soldier-poetry to examine the war's core moral issues.The soldier-poets provide important insights into the ethical dimensions of their physical and psychological surroundings before, during, and after the war. They also offer profound perspectives on the relationships between American soldiers and the Vietnamese people. From firsthand experiences, they reflect on what it meant to be witnesses, victims, and perpetrators of wartime violence. And they advance an uncompromising vision of moral responsibility that indicts a range of culprits for the harms caused by the conflict. Gilbert explores the powerful and perceptive work of these soldier-poets through the lens of morality and presents a radically alternative, deeply personal, and ethically penetrating account of the American war in Vietnam.
Vance Gammons was the Company Commander of the 335th Assault Helicopter Company in an era like no other: the Vietnam War. At the time, none of the Cowboys--as they were called then and today--knew what would become of their lives if they were lucky enough to survive their time in country. It wasn't until a 2017 Cowboy Reunion that Gammons suggested they document their experiences after the war in a sociological exercise that would become this book.
335th Assault Helicopter Company: What We Did After the Vietnam War is a collection of their biographies, overflowing with stories of life after Vietnam, varied accomplishments and downfalls, and a continued support for our enduring nation, all in the words of not-so-famous, ordinary men.

Автор: Henry J. Colavita Название: Company Grade: Memoir of an Angry Skipper ISBN: 1555717829 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781555717827 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 21380.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: From an early age Henry "Rocky" Colavita dreamed of becoming an Army officer. And a policeman. He eventually did both. His engaging, often funny memoir covers the author's 20 year career in the U.S. Army, including multiple tours in Vietnam, and his subsequent 17 year career in law enforcement. Henry was born in New Jersey, raised in Hawaii for a time and grew up in Virginia where most of his schoolmates were Army brats. But his next door neighbor was a cop. The perfect situation for him to develop an affinity for service, both military and public. Wounded in Vietnam on his first tour, he returned for a second tour, this time as Infantry captain in command. He returned home, age 28, and continued his military career--including a stint at The Pentagon and in Berlin--eventually retiring in 1983 and beginning his second career in law enforcement.
The human experience of the Vietnam War is almost impossible to grasp - the camaraderie, the fear, the smell, the pain. Men were transformed into soldiers, and then into warriors. These warriors had wives who loved them and shared in their transformations. Some marriages were strengthened, while for others there was all too often a dark side, leaving men and their families emotionally and spiritually battered for years to come. Focusing in on just one company's experience of war and its eventual homecoming, Andrew Wiest shines a light on the shared experience of combat and both the darkness and resiliency of war's aftermath.
While in Vietnam, Slater Davis served in Bravo Company, 4th Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment in the 11th Light Infantry Brigade of the Americal Division (23rd Infantry) from late 1970 until June of 1971. At that time, he was not aware of the history of Bravo Company, also known as "Big Bad Bravo". It wasn't until he began attending company reunions and meeting some of the men who had gone before him, did he get the 'stirring' to write Bravo's story...from the perspective of the men who filled the Company's ranks from November, 1967 until June of 1971. This book, "In The Shadow Of Heroes", tells that story...from the forming at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii to the final stand down. Mr. Davis writes of the Grunt's Life...the struggles, the emotions, the battles, and the sacrifices. His focus is on the grunts, and especially the heroes who never returned home. Please join him in honoring them as you read their story.
