The Body Burning Detail: Memoir of a Marine Artilleryman in Vietnam
Book information
Description
A poignant memoir that recounts the author's hair-raising—and occasionally hilarious—experiences as a young, not especially gung-ho Marine artilleryman in Vietnam. Gritty and disturbing, Bill Jones' unvarnished narrative probes the lasting physical and emotional wounds of war and offers a combat veteran's wry insight into the influence and relevance of America's long and indecisive misadventure.
