What followed were 39 months in Vietnam as an aircraft mechanic and later a helicopter pilot, living day to day in a world defined by heat, fear, humor, and survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eSnakedoctor\u003c\/i\u003e is not a polished war story - it is a raw, firsthand account of what it was like to live it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the chaos of arriving in-country to the monotony of daily maintenance, from nights under attack to moments of unexpected humanity, this memoir captures the reality of service in Vietnam as it was experienced by the men who were there.
