Jim Carroll

I went to Vietnam when I was 19.   I was there
for 12 months and 21 days.

For the first part of my tour I was in PBR's,  the
River Boats made famous by "Apocalypse Now."
We provided security for freighters full of bombs.

A few months later I was moved to Long Binh,  the Army's biggest
base,  to work in a Tactical Operations Center.   I slept about 100 yards
from a Medevac landing pad.

The constant,  "Whomp, Whomp, Whomp,"  of rotor blades delivering
the dead and wounded pounded into my conscious,  my subconscious,
my unconscious and every fiber of my being.

I came home with things I wanted to say but without the story telling
skills.   I became a trial lawyer and told stories for a living.

I hope you enjoy the Sample Chapters.   The rest of the manuscript is
available upon request.
