An eyewitness account of the last major operation the Americans fought in Vietnam, focusing on the soldiers as individuals and on the previously neglected aspects of the battles that were not reported by the press. Keith William Nolan (May 7, 1964 – February 19, 2009) was an American military historian, focusing on the various campaigns of the Vietnam War. He was born in Webster Groves, Missouri, and lived in southeastern Missouri as well as in the St. Louis suburbs for the entirety of his life. Nolan’s father was the son of Irish immigrants and became a junior college history instructor who after was serving also serving his country as a Marine. As a child, Nolan was deeply affected by the visions of war that he would see on the nightly news as he grew into a young man; he would later say that these images are what sparked his interest in writing about the Vietnam conflict. His first book was published when Nolan was only 19 years of age. Mr. Nolan obtained a history degree from Webster University in Webster Groves, Missouri. More

Norman has been a senior editor and contributing editor at Esquire magazine. Editor-at –Large at Forbes. Contributing editor at Field & Stream, among others. He writes for the The American Spectator and Garden and Gun. Later codified by the military, the resources the POWs in North Vietnam evolved became a doctrine of survival known as Bouncing Back. Through intricate and ingenious methods, the prisoners in each camp made contact, and it saved them. They worked out ways to communicate by tapping out a complex code on their cell walls. They established a chain of command and organized their resistance efforts. They nursed each other's shattered bodies and bolstered each other's morale. They even maintained their sense of humor.

Oliver Laurence North (born October 7, 1943) is an American political commentator, television host, military historian, author, and retired United States Marine Corps lieutenant colonel. A veteran of the Vietnam War, North was a National Security Council staff member during the Iran–Contra affair, a political scandal of the late 1980s. It involved the illegal sale of weapons to the Khomeini regime of the Islamic Republic of Iran to encourage the release of American hostages then held in Lebanon. North formulated the second part of the plan, which was to divert proceeds from the arms sales to support the Contra rebel groups in Nicaragua, sales which had been specifically prohibited under the Boland Amendment. North was granted limited immunity from prosecution in exchange for testifying before Congress about the scheme. He was initially convicted on three felony charges, but the convictions were vacated and reversed and all charges against him dismissed in 1991. He then hosted a talk show on Radio America from 1995 to 2003, and hosted War Stories with Oliver North on Fox News from 2001 to 2016. In May 2018, North was elected as president of the National Rifle Association. On April 27, 2019, he resigned amidst a dispute with the organization's chief executive Wayne LaPierre. More

Scotts Valley, CA: CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, 2014. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Trade Paperback. [12], 294, [2] pages. Signed and dated by the author on the title page. The cover creased and has some wear and soiling. Shepherd Ogden is the author of five non-fiction books and one book of poetry. This is his first novel. This story takes place in the fall of 1969 and the spring of 1970, when the size and scope of anti-Vietnam War protests were building. Despite the killings of the Black Panthers in Chicago, the Manson murders in California, and the slaughter of protesting students at Kent State, the bourgeois center of the movement was swelling with people whom no policeman could club, and they were filling the streets of the capital and their own towns. And the whole world was watching. On TV. It was hard to believe that this wouldn't soon have an effect. Tattoo Charlie is part road story, part antiwar story, part coming of age story, the story of a generation caught on the fence between the 1960s and the 1970s. From Burlington VT to Big Sur in California, from Berkeley to Boston by way of Fort Sam in San Antonio and the big antiwar marches on Washington in 1969 and 1970, Tattoo Charlie paints a detailed portrait of times and places that are immortalized in popular music but fast fading from our cultural memory. They always say about the Sixties that if you can remember, you probably weren't there, but this story is from someone who was there and does remember. More
