Impact zone : the battle of the DMZ in Vietnam, 1967-1968

Jim Brown
"Impact Zone documents Marine First Lieutenant Jim Brown's intense battle experiences, including those at Khe Sanh and Con Thien, throughout his thirteen months of service on the DMZ during 1967-68. This high-action account also reflects the growth of Brown's belief that the Vietnam War was mis-fought due to the unproductive political leadership of President Johnson and his administration. Brown's original naivete developed into hardening skepticism and cynicism as he faced the harsh realities of war, yet he still managed to retain a sense of honor, pride, and patriotism for his country."
