About this product
Product Information
Every war continues to dwell in the lives it touched, in the lives of those living through that time, and in those absorbed by its historical significance. The Vietnam War lives on famously and infamously dependent on political points of view, but those who have "been there, done that" have a highly personalized window on their time of that history

"Allen Clark has provided a well-informed, compelling compilation of the "up close and personal" side of the Vietnam War in his masterful chronicle of first person stories. Valor in Vietnam: Chronicles of Honor, Courage and Sacrifice is an accurate history of remembered experiences by some of the countless men and women who were instrumental in our nation's successes in that war. These gripping stories highlight the dedication, commitment and professional expertise of our nation's combat forces - a must read.", The author has brought together a very well balanced set of stories and successfully uses these to tell the story of the Vietnam War. For me the best thing is the balance. The majority of the stories are about soldiers in combat but bringing in a few accounts about the work of others not on the frontline directly gives fully rounded picture of the military aspects of the war (the impact on Vietnamese civilians is not told directly but is referred to throughout the text). General students of warfare will also find this book to their liking for the same reasons-the overview of different aspects of men and women at war., "It has taken over 40 years for history to begin to position this war in its proper perspective. As one of the countless Vietnam veterans who returned home to an unwelcome celebration of jeers, catcalls, frowns, being spit at, and called a "baby killer', this book comforts me; and I believe it will help to bring forth a solidity and resolution of spirit within all who served, of pride and of the purpose for the war service we gave, but for so long have not felt. It will also help those who did not serve in this war to understand it far better., ...full of wonderful, well told stories that sequentially take us through the war. The stories of men and women of various branches of service and ranks, both officer and enlisted gives a you were there feel., Enthralling first person accounts of dedication and extraordinary heroism make reading this book a must!...insights and valuable leadership lessons that are just as valid now as they were four decades ago., ...focuses on nineteen stories of Vietnam, stories of celebrated figures in the veteran community, compelling war narratives, vignettes if battles, and the emotional impact on the combatants. It is replete with leadership lessons and valuable insights that are just as applicable today as they were forty years ago...intense, emotional and highly personal., ...is a moving collection of first-person accounts covering a broad range of experiences in the Vietnam War. Advisors, Special Forces soldiers, members of ground combat units, aviators and medical personnel are all represented in this inspired approach. Each individual narrative is placed into an appropriate context, and the results--while impressionistic--are powerful and compelling. The stories will resonate with Vietnam veterans and help explain their war to those who did not share their service.|9781612000954|, wonderful, fresh look at one of the most seminal events in the life of those who experienced the 1960s and 1970s. You experience the Vietnam War from the personal point of view of some of the men and women who were there. You get both a unique boots on the ground and narrative perspective. ...The book is full of wonderful, well told stories that sequentially take us through the war. The stories of men and women of various branches of service and ranks, both officer and enlisted gives a you were there feel...Congratulations to author Allen B. Clark and Casemate Publishing. You have published a special book., After attending a special event sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Dallas honoring Allen and his most recent book, I headed home to read this most stirring, but often painful account of 22 personal stories that also fit well into a comprehensive history of the Viet Nam Conflict. I was not disappointed. As stated in the Foreward: "It verges on being allegorical--portraying and explaining the abstract by means of concrete forms. In this case, the forms are drawn from those who served in Viet Nam." Dave R. Palmer, Lt. Gen., U.S. Army (ret), This is a great book for young people to understand what their parents' generation experienced in a tough war against an unrelenting foe. The Veterans today can hold their heads high because of the stories like those told in Valor in Vietnam that chronicle the best attributes of Americans., What comes through in all stories is the troops' commitment and dedication to each other - something that can only be understood by brothers in arms. Well worth a read for any history buff., Allen Clark has provided a well-informed, compelling compilation of the "up close and personal" side of the Vietnam War in his masterful chronicle of first person stories.

This sellers "two day" shipping policy is baloney - it took a over five days and repeated emails before this item shipped. I almost thought I would have to request a refund from eBay. That being said, when it did ship, it was nicely packaged and arrived undamaged. I would not buy from this person again because they don't honor their own policies! I can only leave positive feedback because 1) the item DID arrive, and 2) it was as described. The rest wasn't a great experience.

I dislike complaining, but I'm unhappy with this transaction. The deck/book set, described as "like new," was mailed in such a flimsy envelope that it arrived twisted out of shape, to the point where one of the cards was stuck to exposed glue inside. I wrote to the seller about the situation but received no response. I didn't ask for a return because the price wasn't high, but even at this price I expect more care in packaging. (I have ordered other items from this seller that arrived intact.)
