A Novel
by Ben Reed
|
My Dying Breath is the tale of Tuck Richard (REE-shard), a
gravely wounded Marine, who looks back on the journey that has whisked
him and his friends from the Cajun country of south Louisiana, hardened
them through the rigors of training, and flung them into the jungles of
1969 Vietnam. Struggling to survive the elements and a wily enemy, Tuck,
Donnie-Boy Hebert (AY-bear) and Johnny Robert (ROH-bear) drive
unwittingly toward a tragic showdown with the infamous Col. Pham Van
Bui.
This NVA super-patriot, however, must survive enemies from within —
his teen-aged nephew, Pham Thuc Trai, who seeks revenge, and a veteran
Eurasian, Louie, who is trying to escape the futility of war.

The Vietnam War, of all our wars, is the least understood and
appreciated. Ben Reed conveys to the people of America images that, for
many of us, will be our first uncluttered look at what happened to our
fighting men on the ground, while at the same time depicting what was
happening among the enemy and on the home front.
The Vietnam War, in all its dimensions, has never before been so
honestly portrayed. Ben Reed is one of the few authors who can convey
the true essence of war. In My Dying Breath, he brings the reader so
close to the physical and emotional action, that he can smell the
cordite and feel the pain.

"Warfighting shows how to use the Marine Corps's battle
strategies
of strength and straightforwardness to manage your way to victory in
every confrontation, whether at a corporate, departmental, or personal
level." |

This author, Stephanie Gutmann, is not kind to
what has happened to the U.S. military during Clinton's reign. And
good for her. She writes: "Follow the
lead of the Marines...and go back to separating the sexes in boot
camp....And stop grandma-izing of boot camp. Get used to it.
This is training designed to prepare people for the battlefield." |

The author writes: "Preventing law-abiding
citizens from carrying handguns does not end violence; it merely makes
victims more vulnerable to attack." |

This book will open your eyes to the, believe it or
not, parallels between Nazi Germany and the possible future of
America. Very difficult book because it's the philosophy of
history. Yet
very readable. The 17- page chapter "The Nation of the
Enlightenment" is such a beautifully written tribute to America
that it's worth the price of the book for that alone. See

Ominous Parallels |

The Bridge at Dong Ha is the real story of a Marine Corps hero,
John Walter Ripley, winner of the Navy Cross in Vietnam for his action
depicted in this book. A small book about how much one man, working
alone, can accomplish through courage, ingenuity, and skill.

"Mike
Kelley has done everyone who served
in Vietnam a great service with his monumental research
for WHERE WE WERE. Veterans and military historians alike
will benefit from his Herculean efforts to nail down precisely
WHERE everything was and WHERE everything happened
in America's long war in Vietnam. If you can't find it in these
pages, it can't be found."
