This memoir recounts the experiences of the author and his shipmates as they cruised the Viet Cong-occupied backwaters of the Mekong Delta, and their emotional metamorphosis as wartime events shaped the men they would be for the remainder of their lives."-- |

"Following the Tet Offensive, a shift in U.S. naval strategy in 1967-1968 saw young men fresh out of high school policing the canals and tributaries of South Vietnam aboard PBRs (patrol boat, riverine)-unarmored yet heavily armed and highly maneuverable vessels designed to operate in shallow, weedy waterways. This memoir recounts the experiences of the author and his shipmates as they cruised the Viet Cong-occupied backwaters of the Mekong Delta, and their emotional metamorphosis as wartime events shaped the men they would be for the remainder of their lives."-- Geschichte 1967-1968 gnd rswk-swf Vietnamkrieg (DE-588)4063516-8 gnd rswk-swf US-Soldat (DE-588)4218436-8 gnd rswk-swf Patrouillenboot (DE-588)4269062-6 gnd rswk-swf Mekongdelta (DE-588)4376820-9 gnd rswk-swf Garner, Godfrey United States / Navy / River Patrol Force / River Section 513 Vietnam War, 1961-1975 / Riverine operations, American Sailors / United States / Biography Vietnam War, 1961-1975 / Personal narratives, American United States / Navy / History / Vietnam War, 1961-1975 Vietnam War, 1961-1975 / Campaigns / Mekong River Delta (Vietnam and Cambodia) United States / Navy Military campaigns Sailors Mekong River Delta United States 1961-1975 History Personal narratives / American (DE-588)4133254-4 Erlebnisbericht gnd-content Mekongdelta (DE-588)4376820-9 g Vietnamkrieg (DE-588)4063516-8 s US-Soldat (DE-588)4218436-8 s Patrouillenboot (DE-588)4269062-6 s Geschichte 1967-1968 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-4766-3944-4 Digitalisierung BSB München - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=032143321&sequence=000001&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
