Vietnam 1968-1969

About the Book

Byron Holley spent the longest year of his young life in Vietnam as a surgeon of the 4th battalion of the 39th Regiment, 9th Infantry Division. He lived like a swamp rat in the boonies of the Mekong Delta, and his actions were sometimes all that made the difference between life and death.

“[Holley’s] data base is from the letters he wrote home, so the story is 1969-fresh… It will make you cry, laugh, and rage with anger.”
—Colonel David H. Hackworth, author of About Face
