About the Book

When a reporter for the Washington Post sees a group of wounded, half-starved, black troops disembark from a helicopter in Cu Chi during the height of the Vietnam War, he senses a story, but receives no cooperation from the army or the soldiers. The men, mostly noncombat soldiers, are the remnant of a squad sent on an illegal mission to Cambodia as punishment for their participation in a race riot at Cu Chi base camp. Led by a battle-fatigued sergeant, they fall under enemy fire. Their leader inexplicably disappears, leaving the ill-prepared soldiers to fight the jungle and enemy on their own. Although forced to confront the shock of combat and a deteriorating family life, the reporter pursues the story hoping to uncover the truth about what happened to those soldiers in the jungle. An intriguing glimpse into the Vietnam War, A Long Way Back is a tense journey, merging the lives of the soldiers and the reporter as they struggle to overcome their fear and face the battles they must fight to survive.

Review :
"This is an awesome story. As a retired Army officer and veteran of two tours in Vietnam and having personally been under enemy fire, I can attest to how well you captured that experience within the events of the story."-Norman Mays, Major, USA, (ret) "I found your novel A Long Way Back to be a compelling recounting of the war from the perspective of black soldiers"-Anita Bunkley, author "A Long Way Back is a riveting story set in Vietnam in the 1960s. It captures the ugliness of war and racism, but is much more a page-turning story of brotherhood, determination, and survival."-Barbara Hacha, author of Line by Line and Sidetracks "...this is an intelligently crafted tale, brimming with both suspense and social commentary."-Kirkus Reviews "(A) fine novel. This novel takes an important place on the small shelf of African-American Vietnam War novels. ...the book is well worth reading." -David Willson-Vietnam Veterans of America
