Absolution is a story of horror and of love, based upon the experiences of the author during the Vietnam War. Between 1960 and 1975, hundreds of thousands of young men, most of them barely teenagers, were thrust into the barbarity of an Asian civil war. They were inadequately trained for jungle warfare, and initially armed with a defective weapon, so they acquired their killer skills by instinct and imagination. Transformed by necessity, these genteel sons quickly became the brutal gladiators that their government expected them to be. For the foot soldier in Vietnam, death by any means was the ultimate objective. What s your body count? Commanders asked their soldiers each evening, as if a scorecard named the winner. From that shortsighted viewpoint emerged a legion of men, struggling with an even greater battle, personal and private.INCLUDES NAMES & DATES OF DEATH KILLED IN VIETNAM.; Signed by Author Revised,First Edition; 2nd Prin.235792368pt line.
