About this listen

Policing Saigon isn't Platoon or Apocalypse Now, but the story of Loren W. Christensen's experience as a military policeman (MP) in a city of millions at a time when chaos and fear reigned.

As a 23-year-old from a small town in Washington State, the author was plunged into a chaotic city of brawling servicemen, prostitutes, racial violence, enemy rockets, riots, and death. It was a place that would give him a unique opportunity to see up close a different side of the Vietnam War and its effect on the human condition.

Nearly 80 stories collectively convey the author's experiences, and his arc - from naive to jaded, angry, confused, anxious, and bone-weary exhausted - is representative of so many GIs who served in the Vietnam War as well as those veterans of today's conflicts around the globe.

This is more than just another combat biography, it follows the authors journey through this thing we call life.
Well written, hits the chord with anyone who has seen things that most people I hope never will. 5 star
