Book Description

“The first definitive eyewitness account of the combat in Vietnam, this unforgettable, vividly illustrated report records the story of the 14,000 Americans fighting in a new kind of war. Written by one of the most knowledgeable and experienced of America’s war correspondents, Vietnam Diary shows how we developed new techniques for resisting wily guerrilla forces. Roaming the whole of war-torn Vietnam, Tregaskis takes his readers on the tense U.S. missions—with the Marine helicopters and the Army HU1B’s (Hueys); with the ground pounders on the embattled Delta area, the fiercest battlefield of Vietnam; then to the Special Forces, men chosen for the job of training Montagnard troops to resist Communists in the high jungles. Mr. Tregaskis tells the stirring human story of American fighting men deeply committed to their jobs—the Captain who says: “You have to feel that it’s a personal problem—that if they go under, we go under;” the wounded American advisor who deserted the hospital to rejoin his unit; the father of five killed on his first mission the day before Christmas; the advisor who wouldn’t take leave because he loved his wife and feared he would go astray in Saigon. And the dramatic battle reports cover the massive efforts of the Vietnamese troops to whom the Americans are leaders and advisors. An authority on the wars against communism is Asia, Tregaskis has reported extensively on the Chinese Civil War, Korea, the Guerrilla wars in Indochina, Malaya, and Indonesia. He was the winner of the George Polk Award in 1964 for reporting under hazardous conditions.-Print ed.

Book Description

The acclaimed Vietnam Journal series from Don Lomax, nominated for a Harvey Award, is collected and presented as a series of graphic novels. Vietnam Journal is a look at the Vietnam War through the eyes of a war journalist, Scott 'Journal' Neithammer, as he chronicles the lives and events of soldiers on the front line during the Vietnam War. Creator Don Lomax based Vietnam Journal on his experiences on his tour of duty in Vietnam in the mid 1960's. In VOLUME THREE, Scott ‘Journal’ Neithammer returns to Vietnam, having recovered from his war injuries, but his expectations of being assigned to a safe area dissipate as he is dropped into the middle of a firefight in the Mekong Delta. Neithammer joins up with a new group deployed in the Vietnam War by the US Navy...the Seals. They’re not exactly happy with the older 'Journal' tagging along but orders are orders. The problem is 'Journal' can’t really figure out what the Seals’ orders exactly are. As preparations get underway for the Dak To engagement, 'Journal' ventures out into the jungle but ends up escorting a pregnant villager to safety only to discover she’s really with the enemy. And afterwards, as a battle rages towards occupying a hill that has no significant value, 'Journal' finds he has to deal with both choking gas and Vietcong snipers. These stories plus a short story titled “Dustoff” are included in Book Three. Collects comic book issues #9-12. Entertainment Weekly labels Vietnam Journal as "a graphic novel you should own" and is recommended by the Military History Book Club, while Max Brooks (World War Z) names Vietnam Journal as one of his best war comic series.

"This is, without a doubt, the most graphic, realistic and emotionally powerful portrayal of the Vietnam War that's ever been seen in comic form." - Jason E. Aaron, Wizard’s 2008 Best Writer. "Even today, VIETNAM JOURNAL is one of the most gritty and brutally honest war stories ever published." - Brian Cronin, Comic Book Resources. A Caliber Comics release.

Book Description

Don Lomax's critically acclaimed Vietnam Journal series returns with all new stories. THIS ISSUE: "The Sniper" - In 1969 the Vietnam War was finally winding down. Journalist Scott Neithammer had already been incountry over two years and had been in the bush with the combat troops since he arrived to cover the war as a freelance reporter. Being there, in the horror, with the 11 Bravos gave him credibility in their eyes. So when he was invited to go along with the troops on a LRRP (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol) to neutralize a North Vietnamese Major who was extorting outlandish taxes from the local peasant population, it seemed like a good idea at the time... Praise for Vietnam Journal: “Vietnam Journal by Don Lomax is the best comic book portrayal of Vietnam I have ever read. It’s probably one of the best works ever put down in any art form about the war.” - Daniel Robert Epstein

Book Description

When John Carroll Whitener volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army, he had no idea that five months later President Johnson would begin sending combat and support troops to South Vietnam to fight the Communist insurgency. He expected to be assigned to a stateside military hospital, complete his tour of duty, and return to his hometown in rural North Carolina to live happily ever after. By 1966, however, he found himself in war torn Vietnam, setting up an army optometry clinic in support of the 101st Airborne. While the airborne troops faced the Viet Cong guerrillas and North Vietnam soldiers, Whitener faced a war within himself regarding his faith and sexuality. In this intimate and candid memoir, Whitener shares his diary entries, reflecting and connecting the events of the war with current political issues, as well as his spiritual war to reconcile his homosexuality with his fundamentalist religious upbringing. With wry observations Don't Ask and I Will Tell chronicles his time in Vietnam and his further travels across Asia. He credits the American War in Vietnam as the catalyst for his career in public health and activism for gay rights. More than fifty years later, he looks back on his journey toward inner peace and self-acceptance.

Book Description

Don Lomax's critically acclaimed Vietnam Journal is back with all new tales of Scott ‘Journal’ Neithammer as he reports on the heartache and headache, and the young soldiers on both sides of the Vietnam War. This volume takes ‘Journal’ from late 1969, the Monsoon season, to May of 1970, and the beginning of the Cambodian incursion. As the war officially spreads into that neighboring country and tests the South Vietnamese Military on their capabilities of sustaining the war against the North Vietnamese Communists on their own. Along the way ‘Journal’ finds himself caught in the crosshairs of a juvenile sniper, and a private war for his own sanity as he is forced to fight a plague of rats at a forward firebase. And from a bitter sweet tryst in a back street bar in Saigon, to rolling into Cambodia with an untrustworthy cameraman new to his craft...the action never stops and questions about Neithammer’s career choice continually lay just below the surface. Collects issues 1-5. Praise for Vietnam Journal: “Lomax bases his fictional work on his real experiences in Vietnam in 1966, with powerful results. It is Lomax's concern for average soldiers that, in the end, makes his work significant.” - Publishers Weekly.
