About the Book

Many of the men of Bravo Company, 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne Division, arrived in Vietnam “green as green can be” to a place “they couldn't have found on a map.” They were largely “transported to Vietnam as individuals, rather than as units,” but, through intense fighting at places like Hamburger Hill, “a trust was developed between the men.” Decades after their service ended, many of them continue to meet. They share their stories still, still seeking to “bring some closure to that chapter in their lives” and to honor those “who sacrificed for their country and their unit.” This book, which weaves together archival records with the words of the “Battlin' Bastards of Bravo” themselves, is your chance to join them on that journey. AUTHOR: Melissa Ziobro is the Director of Public History at Monmouth University in West Long Branch, NJ. She also serves as the Curator of the campus's Bruce Springsteen Archives & Center for American Music. She was the last Command Historian at Fort Monmouth, NJ, prior to the base's closure in 2011. 4050 colour illustrations

Review :
"A valuable contribution to the literature of the Vietnam War, this book is a compelling and poignant read that offers a powerful reminder of the true human cost of conflict."-- "The History Fella" "Most are either written by unit members or told to Ziobro. If the veteran was uncomfortable speaking to an outsider, he was interviewed by another unit member. Ziobro "lightly edited" most stories. However, the individual voice of each veteran is clearly heard."-- "The VVA Veteran"
