This book tells of a young man who enters USMC boot camp in 1965. To becoming a tank commander in Vietnam during the years of the heaviest fighting of the whole Vietnam War. He tells of hitting a large land mine with a tank. Having his tank and crew abandoned on the battle field. A thought that remained with him through Vietnam was that he felt he would never return home alive. He talks of day to day life during the 1965 to 1969 time period. What it was like to come home from Vietnam and how he was more content in Vietnam than his own country. The United States never lost a major battle in Vietnam, how is it possible we lost the war? The answers to this and much more in Tracks Memoirs of a Vietnam Veteran.
