NFGAC is a true and definitive war story, written from the context of my experiences as a Marine Grunt in the thick of the Vietnam War. Learn why young Americans were sent to fight and die in that distant land because of decisions made before most of them were born. Experience the daily physical and emotional battles faced as an unlikely mix of young American fighters are turned into brothers and heroes in the unforgiving reality of nontraditional insurgent warfare.
The only friends we had were the young men, most just out of high school, next to us in the monsoon-soaked jungle, thousands of miles from home and America - a land so far away and unobtainable it was referred to as The World. The war had become the focal point of our young lives, changing us forever.
Back on American soil, survivors found no welcoming or appreciative country or the peace we sought. The bullets might have quit flying, but new struggles, PTSD, lingering wounds, social abandonment, and the effects of Agent Orange took the place of combat struggles in-country.

"Straight forward account of marines in Vietnam. No hype, just a fact filled account of their efforts and sacrifice. Good read. Thank you sir."
"This book is very enlightening, I remember as a high school kid seeing the reports from the Vietnam war and not understanding what it was all for and why people were protesting against it, this book helps understanding the mood, feeling and down to earth feeling that serving Marines felt at that time, very informative and very emotive."
