Transport yourself back to another time with Soldier's Story, the war memoir and book by Jim Akers of Mount Airy, North Carolina. Put yourself in the shoes of a young man from a small town in USA. Andy Griffith, having grown up in his hometown and neighborhood, found himself in the middle of the Vietnam War. Relive his experience as an American soldier in the years 1968 and 1969 with his account of his time spent in Vietnam.

This short account is great if you were there but it lacks descriptions of the scenes. They are build using the 5 senses and there were none of this.

A bit like listening to someone on a sandbag chatting about exploits.

Great if you were there.
