Naked In Da Nang - Hardcover
$24.00
Naked In Da Nang (Zenith Press 2004)

-- fast-paced, funny, and life-affirming, this dynamic memoir has been called "The Wonder Years Goes To War" because it chronicles the impressions and adventures of a small town boy from Ohio who faces the Vietcong and NVA regulars as an Air Force Forward Air Controller in Southeast Asia from 1971 to 1972. The Military Book Club called Naked In Da Nang "terrific" and added that authors Mike Jackson and Tara Dixon-Engel write "with pride and a spicy dash of irreverence...the stories in this book are lively, compelling, offbeat and frequently laugh-out-loud funny." The book inspired the national Operation Welcome Home celebrations for America's Vietnam veterans. -- Autographed by both authors.
