Life and Death in the Central Highlands

An American Sergeant in the Vietnam War, 1968-1970 Volume 5

Beschreibung

Drafted into the Army in 1968, Gillam transformed from an uncertain sergeant to an aggressive soldier, serving in Vietnam and Cambodia. As a regular point man and occasional tunnel rat who fought below ground, the killing became close range and brutal. Gillam left the Army in 1970, and he was once again a college student and destined to become a university professor.
