AMERICAN BOYS AT WAR IN VIETNAM—AND INVOLVED IN INCIDENTS YOU WON'T FIND IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES
In this compelling, highly unusual collection of amazing but true stories, U.S. soldiers reveal fantastic, almost unbelievable events that occurred in places ranging from the deadly Central Highlands to the Cong-infested Mekong Delta.
"Finders Keepers" became the sacred byword for one exhausted recon team who stumbled upon a fortune worth more than $500,000—and managed, with a little American ingenuity, to relocate the bounty to the States. Jorgenson also chronicles Marine Sergeant James Henderson's incredible journey back from the dead, shares a surreal chopper rescue, and recounts some heart-stopping details of the life—and death—of one of America's greatest unsung heroes, a soldier who won more medals than Audie Murphy and Sergeant York.
Whether occurring in the bloody, fiery chaos of sudden ambushes or during the endless nights of silent, gnawing menace spent behind enemy lines, these stories of war are truly beaucoup dinky dau . . . and ultimately unforgettable.

Very Crazy, G. I.!: Strange but True Stories of the Vietnam War
Every now and then it's nice to take a break from detail-heavy, analytical responses to the Vietnam War and the tumultuous 60s and 70s and read a book like this.
It doesn't concern itself with the politics but rather the experiences, especially the often strange moments for which there is typically no place in 'serious' studies and reflections on the war.
These are often a grunts' take on life during wartime, and I've found several of the pieces far more illuminating and interesting to read than those 'definitive' accounts typically drawn from numbing orders of battle and accountant spreadsheets.
There are even hints of cryptozoological encounters, practical jokes and chance meetings that illustrate a rich realm of stories worth hearing among our veterans. Should it be the only book you read about the Vietnam War? Heavens no.
But that doesn't mean these stories have no place in our understanding of the time, either.
