From the Inside Flap
Tran Van Nhut grew up with a great love for Vietnam and its history. He served in the Army of South Vietnam from the inception of the Republic of Vietnam in 1954 until the country's demise in 1975. In 1970 he was appointed province chief of Binh Long (Peaceful Dragon) Province and commander of its Regional Forces, Popular Forces, and People's Self Defense Forces. In that capacity, he became involved in the sixty-six-day Battle of An Loc, an important South Vietnamese victory. The recipient of more than sixty South Vietnamese medals as well as many U.S. decorations, Tran ended his military career with the rank of brigadier general.

FROM THE BOOK: Just after my helicopter took off, communist antiaircraft guns located north of An Loc directed a ferocious barrage at us. Luckily, not one round hit our helicopter, but when we tried to land at Loc Ninh, the curtain of North Vietnamese antiaircraft fire was so thick my American pilot was unable to land there.

Looking down on Loc Ninh from above, my heart sank. Smoke curled skyward from the town. Heavy artillery barrages rained down on district military headquarters and the headquarters of 9th Regiment, 5th Division. . . .

The recipient of more than sixty South Vietnamese medals as well as many U.S. decorations, Tran Van Nhut ended his career as a brigadier general. He and his family are members of the expatriate Vietnamese community in Santa Ana, California. Christian L. Arevian, who assisted General Tran in editing his reflections, is author of A Conservative View of the Vietnam Era (2006). A native of Aleppo, Syria, Arevian currently resides in Greensboro, North Carolina.
