Böcker av Eduardo Infante Antonio

Why I wrote this BookI became interested in writing about the Vietnam War from my own perspective when I saw TV documentaries showing marines and some army soldiers indiscriminately burning Vietnamese thatch houses, destroying livestock and capturing old men, women and children. Those documentaries give a negative impression to the American public, that all American soldiers did that. This book is to tell the readers from my own personal combat experiences, that there were American soldiers and ARVN Rangers who fought and died courageously against the Viet Cong guerillas and North Vietnamese Army soldiers without harming old men, women or children. On my tour of duty from 1966 to 1967, my recon platoon, my 4th/12th Battalion, my 199th Brigade and the gallant South Vietnamese Black Panther Rangers that fought and died beside us, did not burn any thatch houses or shoot any innocent civilians.
