Echoes of Vietnam captures an American soldier’s memories of the journey from the comforts of home, to the jungles of Southeast Asia, and the grim realities of war. A retrospective five decades in the making, Echoes includes a first-person assessment of our nation’s leaders in their role as overseers of the Vietnam war. Against the backdrop of our nation’s current struggle to retain a constitutional republic, Echoes provides timeless insight into leadership shortcomings which can erase citizen confidence and erode the very freedoms our soldiers fought to protect. Echoes provides a soldier’s analysis and comparison of Vietnam and Afghanistan end-of-conflict scenarios, and probes America’s subsequent involvement in the Russia/Ukraine war.
