Product Description:
In their Own Words Vietnam

8 personal Accounts on 8 Compact Discs

It was a conflict as controversial as it was calamitous, with the dubious distinction of being the first ware ever fought on television. But beyond the images of battle-ravaged Vietnam lie exploits of some of the war’s elite Allied mavericks, recounted here In their Own Words. With you-are-there narration by the men who were actually were, this 8-compact disc suite reveals the precise and riveting preparation for, and aftermath of, clandestine missions. Relive the exploits of the Tunnel Rats, those American soldiers, armed with nothing but a pistol and a flashlight, responsible for disarming underground booby-traps, and the Wild Weasels, an outrageous cowboy corps of pilots, initially with a 100% casualty rate whose job was to invite enemy fire. With over six hours of personal and poignant recollection by allied troops ranging from the horrifyingly overwhelmed combat medic, to the protagonist of the Bat 21 Rescue, the In Their Own Words: Vietnam collection is an audio treasury which brings to a life a time of unprecedented valor.
