    This is a short Vietnam war book. The Vietnam War was fought like a war and it ended with both sides believing that they won. But it was not a war that started with a formal declaration of war. The number of struggles for power that are part of the fabric of Vietnam is almost overwhelming. The battles were short and intense and fought in the jungles and rice paddies.

    Devil's Guard: The Real Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 400min
    Following the myths and legends about Nazis recruited by the French Foreign Legion to fight in Indochina, Eric Meyer's new book is based on the real story of one such former Waffen-SS man who lived to tell the tale. The legion recruited widely from soldiers left unemployed and homeless by the defeat of Germany in 1945. They offered new identities and passports to men who could bring their fighting abilities to the jungles and rice paddies of what was to become Vietnam. These were ruthless, trained killers, brutalized by the war on the Eastern Front, their killing skills honed to a razor's edge. They found their true home in Indochina, where they fought and became a byword for brutal military efficiency. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Gary Roelofs.

Mark Hardin is dropped through the air, scanning the desert for David Red Eagle's smoke signal, his mind flashed back to similar jumps in Vietnam. Another time, another enemy. In the fetid rice paddies and rubbled hamlets, the enemy had a yellow skin and slanted eyes. Today Hardin would be fighting foes on his own kind, men of white skin and red skin.

It would accelerate with the entry of militant young Indians, State Troopers, the National Guard...and the Mafia. It would climax in a desert bloodbath! ungekürzt. Language: English.

    River of Perfumes: A Novel of Marine Combat Correspondents in Hue City During Vietnam's Tet Offensive , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 445min
    Post-World War II America and teenage boys dreamed of adventure growing up in the 1950s, listened to Elvis Presley and read Jack Kerouac, yet it wasn't cruising Route 66 in a Corvette that united them, but Highway 1, known as the Street Without Joy, on the way to Hue city during the 1968 Tet Offensive in Vietnam. It was the dawning of the Age of Aquarius, Civil Rights and the pill, young girls in long boots and short skirts, but not for those in the jungle and rice paddies of Southeast Asia. Full of innocence and dreams, adolescent passion and coming of age horror, River of Perfumes captures the contradictions of the times and what the brutality of war does to young men in battle, and a country that stayed home and abandoned them. ungekürzt.

    Boot: A Sorta Novel of Vietnam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 564min
    The true test for surviving war lies in the mind, not on the battlefield. Inspired by the author’s own experiences of US military operations during the Vietnam War, Boot is a debut literary novel that charts the journey of marine George Orwell Hill, known affectionately as G.O. by his brothers-in-arms, as he comes to grips with the psychological impacts of war in the jungles and rice paddies of Southeast Asia.Faced with military life, ranging from the sublime to the ridiculous, G.O. must navigate the absurdity of warfare and suppress his humanity to survive psychologically. The war challenges his presuppositions - about the world, about life, about himself - as soon as he lands in Vietnam. And his pondering deep questions about humanity becomes a fruitless task in a situation forcing him to accept life for what it is in every gory, absurd detail.Boot is a credible contribution to new literary fiction about the Vietnam War, combining satire and psychology in historical fiction. ungekürzt.

    The Only War We Had: A Platoon Leader's Journal of Vietnam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 575min
    In my year in Vietnam, I walked the booby-trapped rice paddies of the Delta, searching for the elusive Viet Cong, and later macheted my way through the triple-canopy jungle, fighting the North Vietnamese Regulars…I sweated, thirsted, hunted, killed. Somewhere in all my experiences, I overlapped the situations of nearly every infantryman and many others who served. Michael Lee Lanning's journal of his first tour of duty in Vietnam provides an unvarnished daily account of life in the field. The blood, fear, camaraderie, and tedium of combat and maneuver. Fleshed out with narrative and detail years later, the pages of this memorable book, first published in 1987, show an eager young recruit growing before the reader's eyes into a proud but bloodied combat veteran. Subsequent volumes in his Vietnam Trilogy will detail Lanning's tour as a company commander and his post-war investigation into the mind of the enemy. Through his eyes, readers see the reality of a war that did not always receive glory but was, in his words, "the only war we had." ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Alexander MacDonald.

    Compass and a Camera: A Year in Vietnam , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 535min
    With a compass to direct him in his job as a forward observer and a personal camera to document his experiences - and keep him connected to his creative side - Vietnam veteran Steven Burchik was lucky enough to make it home and years later decided to write about the most challenging year of his life. Like any experience, his year spent with the First Infantry Division stationed in the rice paddies near Saigon included good times as well as bad. He candidly recalls how, although he believed communism to be a serious threat in the world, he soon learned that a guerilla war is a difficult one to fight, and survival rather than victory quickly became his focus. But he also remembers the exhilaration of helicopter rides over serpentine rivers and the time he introduced village kids to a gumball machine. A unique memoir of the war, Compass and a Camera pulls not only from Burchik's memories, but also from the daily letters he wrote to his fiancée (she kept every single one). This book is a must-have for any history buff or fellow veteran. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Brian McKiernan.
