the raw and unvarnished recollections of a Vietnam soldier, Bo Hardin. It is a compelling story about the kind of aggression and fear one experiences only in a war zone. It tells his story about his experiences there and his unplanned departure from each tour. Many of the stories are grueling recounts of the very worst things that can happen when men and women go to war. In Hardin's mind, Vietnam had become his true home, and how he became addicted to a chosen lifestyle of combat, comradery and the arms of a woman that had captured his soul.
