Sergeant at War: Letters Home from Vietnam - Hardcover

I could probably use a thousand words to try to describe how it is over here and never really quite explain it at all.Sergeant at War: Letters Home from Vietnam depicts the true story of Sergeant Michael Gordon's time in the Vietnam War, as shared in letters written to his father from his enlistment in 1965 to his discharge. As Gordon evolves from an idealist hoping to become a pilot to a war-weary staff sergeant managing his own platoon and earning two Purple Hearts, readers will discover exactly what it's like to confront a war without end while trying not to lose hope.For those who are interested in what it was like to be there, on the front lines, with men in your charge, not knowing your enemy from your friend, Sergeant at War grabs you right from the first letter.
