Not Your Ordinary Vietnam War Stories

Not Your Ordinary Vietnam War Stories shares a few of the stories of men the author served with, men he came to know later in life, men he loved as brothers-in-arms surviving in harm’s way, and men who were simply “crazy Vietnam vets” with a special story to tell. These are interesting up-and-down tales of wonder and weird, of good times and bad.

Jim Pepper served a year in Southeast Asia, saw action in six different countries, saw men die, saw men crippled by fear and withered by fatigue. Although intensely personal, veteran’s stories are colored by common threads. After formally speaking about America’s Vietnam experience for more than twenty-five years, he has learned what’s important to audiences, and what’s not. People most want to know what it was like over there.
