Produktinformationen zu „A Fear of Dying (ePub)“
A Fear of Dying is a story about a young man who would never have been drafted into the military because of his medical condition. He carried his medical
records with him to the induction center and referred to them as his (Ace in the Hole). Because of his smart mouth and his attitude, he got drafted
anyhow.
Once he realized that he was not going to get out of the Army, he decided to be the best soldier that he could possibly be. He became a Chopper pilot on a
gun ship and served two tours in Viet Nam.
The story talks about both his and other soldiers experiences, fears, courage, compassion, and humor that they shared with each other during their tours
in Viet Nam.
The story talks about the friendships and relationships that the soldiers built with each other. The story shares what they were willing to do for each
other to protect those friendships, and how they each handled the deaths of both friends and comrades.

Autoren-Porträt von Brewster MaCoy
Brewster is from the north central United States, and a Viet Nam veteran. Brewster spent more than ten years listening to various stories and experiences told to him by Viet Nam veterans, and decided to make the stories into a book.Brewster’s intention for writing this book was to share some of the experiences that Viet Nam veteran’s had to endure. Many Viet Nam veterans were to young and naïve to understand the politics involved in the war. It was very difficult for many of the soldiers returning home not only to understand the protesting going on, but to be called names and to be persecuted for doing their duty and serving their country.
Brewster’s hope in writing this book is to remind the American people that many of these young men did not volunteer to join the military, they were drafted. The Viet Nam veteran only did what they were asked to do, and did not deserve to be treated the way that they were when they returned home to the country that they served.
