Produktbeschreibung
By 1970, opposition to the war in Vietnam had reached a fever pitch and those sent to serve knew it was only a matter of time before America called it quits. While 1st Lieutenant Terrance J. Brown was there, he kept a journal and sketchbook covering ten months of the Vietnam War as lived by a soldier. This book chronicles Terry's life as part of the war effort. He lived on bases near Saigon and ventured daily by helicopter into the "boonies" to collect information on roads, bridges, fire support bases, jungle clearing operations, and the condition of jungle landing strips in III Corps. His journal entries detail the beauty and struggles of this war-torn country, its people, and our military personnel. It also relates the exhilaration of flying in helicopters, the beauty of Vietnam, close calls with disaster, and the utter feeling of boredom while serving during the end of the war. The illustrations and photographs in the journal demonstrate an eye for detail and capture the essence of scenes and settings of typical life in Vietnam as well as the war itself. Readers will be inspired by the way he interpreted his war experience.
Autorenporträt
Terry is more than an architect and artist; he is a humanitarian whose career as an architect has provided creative architectural designs that have positively benefited the lives of thousands of Native Americans across the state of New Mexico and the western hemisphere. The first eight years of his career focused on improving the quality of life, education and the built environment for the rural poor in Central and South America. He is a co-founder of two rural Spanish schools and training centers in Guatemala that funded work in Maya linguistics that were instrumental in helping Maya Indians to develop an alphabet and dictionary in their native languages. Terry specializes in designing health care and educational projects for Native American communities. His work includes award winning Taos-Picuris Pueblos Health Center, Tohatchi Health Center and the Institute of American Indian Arts Museum in Santa Fe. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) and the recipient of the AIA Edward C. Kemper Award and the Whitney Young Jr. Medal, AIA's highest award for demonstrating what a single architect can do to make the global community a better place to live.
