Charles W. “Chuck” Newhall, III is a decorated combat veteran of Vietnam who served with the 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division in the A Shau Valley where he earned the Silver Star, the Bronze Star with V(1st OLC) and Purple Heart. Fearful Odds is the true story of a young Army officer, groomed for command and assigned to lead a platoon on a reconnaissance mission in Vietnam. An otherwise routine mission is complicated by an inept chain of command and the resulting casualties devastate the platoon. The graphic images and memories of the action and the grueling months that follow, lead Newhall to a lifetime of severe trauma, guilt, grief and anger. After decades of experience in managing the long-term effects of trauma, and with the support of his family, Chuck Newhall has successfully come to terms with the effects of PTSD. Fearful Odds offers hope, inspiration and valuable coping tools for anyone, or their families, who has been affected by post-traumatic stress. Fearful Odds is a story of perseverance in the face of insurmountable odds. More

New York, NY: Ballantine Books, 2006. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xxii, 480, [8] pages. Illustrations. Maps. Notes. Bibliography. Index. Foreword by Senator John McCain. Major General Donald William Shepperd (born 1940) was the director of the Air National Guard from 28 January 1994 to 28 January 1998. Shepperd holds a master of science degree from Troy State University and attended the Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base. He graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1962 as a distinguished graduate. The retired Major General has also functioned as a military aviation analyst for CNN. From co-author's website: "My first book, which I co-authored with Don Shepperd, was Bury Us Upside Down: The Misty Pilots and the Secret Battle for the Ho Chi Minh Trail. It s about a fascinating group of pilots who flew extremely hazardous, top-secret missions over North Vietnam in the late 1960s. Researching and writing that book taught me a lot about America's most unpopular war, and about America itself. More

Minor soiling on bottom edge. Nguy n Ti n H ng (also known as Gregory Tien Hung Nguyen) (born November 1, 1935) was Minister of Economic Development and Planning in the Republic of Vietnam and one of President Nguy n V n Thi u's closest advisers. As of 2010, he is Professor Emeritus of Economics at Howard University in Washington, D.C. He was born in Thanh Hóa, Vietnam, in 1935. He worked as an economist in Africa with the International Monetary Fund from 1966 to 1969, before being appointed "special assistant" to President Thi u and Commissioner of Planning in 1973. He was named Minister of Economic Development and Planning on November 28, 1974. In an attempt to force President Richard Nixon to honor what he and President Thi u interpreted as promises of heavy American military aid should the war go badly, H ng made public a series of letters which Nixon had sent to Thi u in 1972 and 1973. With Jerrold L. Schecter, former White House correspondent and diplomatic editor of Time magazine, Nguy n wrote The Palace File in 1986, which published the Nixon-Thi u letters and provided additional insight on America's relationship with South Vietnam from his perspective. One reviewer said the book "provides significant new data on United States relations with South Vietnam from 1968 to 1975 and fresh insights into the character of Nguyen Van Thieu." More

Pages have darkened, some wear to cover edges, some soiling to fore-edge. Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th president of the United States, serving from 1969 until 1974. A member of the Republican Party, Nixon previously served as the 36th vice president from 1953 to 1961, having risen to national prominence as a representative and senator from California. After five years in the White House that saw the conclusion to the U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War, détente with the Soviet Union and China, and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency, he became the only president to resign from the office, following the Watergate scandal. In 20 years of retirement, Nixon wrote his memoirs and nine other books and undertook many foreign trips, rehabilitating his image into that of an elder statesman and leading expert on foreign affairs. Evaluations of him have proven complex, with successes as president contrasted against the circumstances of his departure from office. More

He served on active duty in the Navy Reserve during World War II. He was elected to the House of Representatives in 1946. His pursuit of the Hiss Case established his reputation as a leading anti-Communist which elevated him to national prominence. In 1950, he was elected to the Senate. He was the running mate of Dwight D. Eisenhower, subsequently serving for eight years as the vice president. In 1968, he ran for the presidency and was elected, defeating Hubert Humphrey and George Wallace in a close election. Nixon ended American involvement in Vietnam in 1973, ending the military draft that same year. Nixon's visit to China in 1972 eventually led to diplomatic relations, and he gained the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty with the Soviet Union. More
