Vietnam Memories: Memories of soldiering in an unforgettable war

For many, the nightmare of the Vietnam War left returning soldiers burdened with thoughts and feelings they could not forget and could not share with others. In this revelatory memoir, Allen Rauschert remembers his experience and analyzes his reactions to the chaotic and dysfunctional experience so many young Americans went through in the 1960s and 70s. Serving as a medic, he dealt with the enemy trying to kill him {medics had a greater chance of being shot than regular infantry did}, the hardships of being in a hostile environment, and the often negative impact of leadership uncertain of how to conduct this unfortunate war. Through his introspection, Allen became a successful citizen back home, found love, and learned how to live with the memories he would have liked to forget.
