Publisher's Synopsis
Too many tourists think they can see enough of the Mekong Delta on a brief day trip from Ho Chi Minh City - but there's so much more to it than a pagoda and a floating market. This region is home to unique ecosystems that deserve more than an afternoon in your itinerary.
This book is more to show the humane aspect of a very difficult situation that very young people, men, and women were thrust into. Once there, most of us decided to make the most of it. Not that we didn't face many days and nights in fierce combat. It's just that I didn't stop firing my weapon to take pictures. Too busy trying to stay among the living.
The liberal media at the time of the Vietnam War would have everyone believe that we were nothing more than blood-thirsty thugs, baby killers, rapists, and murderers. This could not be further from the truth as these pictures will try to show.
