Produktinformationen zu „From the Shadows (ePub)“

Imbued with the ideals of the academy's motto, "Duty, Honor, Country," and their class motto, "No task too great for '68, " the young officers of the Class of '68 went off to lead America's young soldiers in intense, close-quarter jungle combat. During three years, the class lost twenty from their ranks.

This is the story of their all-too-short lives-from growing up in the post-World War II bloom of peace and security to their eventual loss in Vietnam. They graduated from West Point eager to start their lives. Most died heroically while leading from the front or flying into intense ground fire to protect others. This is an American tale of dedication and courage.
