In the 30 plus years since its conclusion, countless volumes have been crafted regarding the Vietnam War, not to mention movies, television specials, and documentaries. Most of the written and visual media have done a commendable job exploring the logistical blunders and other revealing aspects of the war itself, however, very few of them have given Vietnam the same empathic human touch as Saving Private Ryan so famously did for World War 2. There is now a book that everyone can read and understand what a year in Vietnam was truly like. Told through the eyes of one soldier who was lucky enough to have been allowed to survive. Throughout the pages of Vietnam, No Regrets, author and Vietnam Veteran J Richard Watkins steps directly in the gap and fills that void in standout fashion. A heart-wrenching memoir recounted in an unfiltered, no-holds- barred manner, Vietnam, No Regrets takes the reader straight into the heart of one of the most controversial extended episodes in our nation's history, painting the gruesome conflict in a graphic, vivid light - undeniably real and raw. It is a book that challenges the reader to put down once begun.
With this book the author wanted those who were not there to read a first-hand account of what a year of living dangerously was like. But more than that the author wanted to give a voice to every soldier who served in Vietnam. For there are so many Veterans whose story will never be told. The author has vowed to tell it for them, so throughout Vietnam, No Regrets their voices can be heard.
