I was drafted but never went to Viet Nam. This book is a collection of personal stories of those that did. It is these people that I remember on Veterans Day. A gripping book that answers the question, "What was it like over there?"

I have just finished reading this book for the first time in 20 years. I'm in it. I can tell you this, I cried at the end of every chapter & the war is as real to me today as it was 42 years ago. I sincerely want to thank James Wilson for taking on this project.

excellent reading about a subject I had no idea.....My brother served on a Navy ship but the brave ones were on the front just like our men today.

I simply must be honest, and tell, I have not completely read "Landing Zones". But Iam currently very close friends with two men who were focused on in the book. William (Bill)Tant, and Donald Whitfield. That is why I have been searching for this book, as it is part of my x-mas present to each of them this year. Bill Tant, came home and worked the River Boats for years, you have to love bill, as he is smart, charming, egostitical, and will always supply you with laughter. Nam still remains with him though. Donald Whitfield, (Bro. Whit)wasn't as lucky as others, mentally anyway, he purchased some land in the country and surrounded it completely with 15 foot high bamboo. You have taken your life in your own hands, should you try and go in his camp, without his ok, or prior knowledge. He allows very few in, so I feel fortunate that he trust and accepts me. He is a smart wonderful, very handsome man, who never married and doesnt want to. But a better political DEBATOR has yet to be born. There is absolutley nothing that Bro. Whit cannot do, he's an ace mechanic, builder, draftsman, organizer, a true GET THE JOB DONE MAN. I personally have been searching for Landing Zones as part of a project I want to accomplish and give to both gentlemen this christmas (2000). Both are in good health and spirits and I thankyou for listening to me. Sincerely Robbie Blissett Gowin
