In a time before computers, GPS, the Internet, and other technological advances, reliance on blood, sweat, tears, and an old-fashioned work ethic were often the only tools people had to survive. And for an infantryman in the early days of Vietnam, helicopter rides into hot landing zones, coping with leeches, enemy combatants, difficult orders, and surviving in the jungle took all the grit and determination necessary both to endure and to approach victory. In Storm in the Jungle, a soldier chronicles his life caught seemingly in the middle of nowhere between a strange land and culture, as he is sent to war in a troop ship and tasked to set up base camps, engage in search and destroy missions, and manage tense relations with his fellow brothers in arms. As he sees the tragedy of death unfold before him for the first time-and many other times thereafter-he and the other men around him cannot help but be changed forever. Personally facing the enemy in combat and battling his way through the physical, mental, and psychological turmoil of the Vietnam War, discover how for this young infantryman the tolls of war are paid with his blood, sweat, and tears-and almost a chance at coming home.
