Not a tale of firefights and blood, this book should be read by anyone who lived through the Vietnam era that was not directly involved and did not go to Vietnam. It provides a sense of what went through their minds, the conflicts and confusion and related fears. In a self-deprecating style, the author comes of age, examining these emotions and the guilts of being assigned to a secure area, of leaving a job before it was completed, and abandoning faithful Vietnamese friends. It should be read by anyone who cares about those who went and who want to understand more about them and their era. Forty photos provide a flavor of the year and the place. Rapid city journal 8-21-05 says "more than other stories about vietnam, this one is reflective, and thankfully so. Muehlberg sorts through the morass to find enough good to give himself and readers the feeling that vietnam was not entirely an instance of mindless oblivion that it sometimes seems. " ***Meridian/Boise area may contact author for copies (605-389-1341).***

When they flew Casey into the hospital at Nha Trang, the medics were sure he'd die. That he didn't was only the first surprise. The second, bigger one, was that Casey had been fighting for two thousand years, ever since that day on Golgotha when he put his lance into the side of the Man on the Cross. "Soldier, you are content with what you are, Then that you shall remain until we meet again." So does Casca's journey begin, a many who cannot die, does not age, and knows no skills but those of battle. He becomes The Eternal Mercenary.

Le royaume du Champa s'organise vers le Ve siècle après J.-C. sur un large territoire qui est le Vietnam actuel. Il reste encore quelques magnifiques édifices dans la région de Nha Trang. La sculpture du Champa utilise divers matériaux, principalement la pierre (grès), mais aussi l'or, l'argent et le bronze, ces oeuvres profondément originales illustrent la mythologie indienne. Ce puissant royaume fut progressivement détruit vers le XVe siècle par l'irrésistible descente vers le sud (" Nam Tiên ") des vietnamiens, à partir de leur foyer de la région du Fleuve Rouge. L'auteur explore, décrit et commente les différents styles des sculptures de l'art cham en s'appuyant sur une riche iconographie inédite.--------------------------

In this Marine combat memoir, Steve Johnson recounts his service in Vietnam from April 1967 to May 1968. Only 17 when he enlisted in 1964, Johnson deployed to Vietnam with the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, and his tour included such now famous locations as Phu Bai, Khe Sanh, Nha Trang and Quang Tri, among others. With a sometimes humorous tone, Johnson describes a war of often terrified high school and college-aged youngsters faced with exotic plant and animal life, monsoon rains, harrowing reconnaissance missions and death. Details are plentiful about tactics, equipment, geography and, always, fellow Marines.
