WAR STORIES of an ARMED SAVAGE PART 1 HARDCOVER

Part 1 of 6 - These war stories were written 15 years ago and posted on my blog with the same title. I’ve been encouraged, pestered, harassed, cajoled, and nagged to put them in a book. I’ve hesitated because 200 stories (270,000 words) with 350 pictures, images, and graphics (varying sizes and colors) wouldn’t fit in a book, but they might in four or five. War Stories of an Armed Savage, Part 1 includes 30 stories and 100 images: Up Front - Storytellers - Revisiting History - Armed Savage - Lambretta -The Ice Box - Caltex - Map Sheet Grid Coordinates - 7up - Big Picture - Marching in the Wilderness - Our Maintenance Sergeant - Our Other Work - Basic and Advanced Training - Captain John Hottell - September 13, 1969 -The Missing Entry - Foxholes or Graves - Defense Attorney - Sergeant Donald Sydney Skidgel - Decorations and Awards - Hot Stuff - Private First Class John Anthony Halladay - First Lieutenant Michael Herman Thomas - C-4 Plastic Explosive - Ready for Combat - Entertainment - Smells Fishy - The People - History Lesson
