In 1966 boys went to Vietnam because it was their duty to do so. Some fought, some supported the fighters. All knew danger because there were no front lines in Vietnam. Sleep sometimes was interrupted by incoming mortars. Days were often jarred by grenades tossed into bars or claymore mines planted beneath picnic tables. Bill Upton served as an airplane crew chief flying out of the resort city of Vung Tau. He survived the war and was changed by it. Pizza & Mortars: Ba-muoi-ba & Body Bags is about coming of age in a war zone.
Even though Upton was there about three years ahead of me, I enjoyed the memories or a crew chief flying in and out of the same places in a different aircraft than I was in. I was trying to find a good novel, or creative non fiction, that would depict the Viet Nam War for a class room setting; something that would relay the events the way I saw them from someone else's perspective. Another viewpoint for students. I found it. Thanks to technology for bringing in self publishing.
