About this listen

Que Son Valley is actually a large area of hills and valleys just to the west of Da Nang, Viet Nam. During the 1960s, units from the US Marines and US Army engaged the 2nd North Vietnamese Division in heavy and close combat. Our mission was to keep the enemy from capturing the cities of Da Nang, Tam Ky, and Chu Lai and to pacify the area. We did prevent the enemy from capturing these vital cities, but the area was far from pacified.

Many young, brave Americans were killed or seriously wounded in these hills and valleys in the belief they were helping the Vietnamese obtain freedom and peace. Although our altruistic beliefs might have gone astray, it was my honor serving with these fine men and women. I wrote this book in honor of them and to keep their memories alive.

What the critics say

"The author does an admirable job of telling his story...for readers interested in learning what life was like for a grunt during the Vietnam War." (John Podlaski, author of Cherries: A Vietnam War Novel)

I'm sad to have to say that this narrator tends to scream a lot unfortunately, or whispers in a lullaby way(!) far too often and it's extremely annoying to listen to

I was touched by the initial naïveté of the writer concerning his role in the war, but that’s how it is at first. A very powerful recollection of direct experience.

Personal and powerful

The story was interesting but the very feminin sounding male voice doing the narration didnt fit this book in the least.
