Description
Guns Up! A Firsthand Account of the Vietnam War by Johnnie Clark is a gripping and intense account of the Vietnam War from the perspective of an ordinary man who found himself in extraordinary circumstances. At just 18 years old, Clark was thrust into the midst of the bloody Tet Offensive at Hue, where he witnessed firsthand the bravery and sacrifice of the US Marines. The book is a testament to the raw courage and selflessness of the men who fought in Vietnam, many of whom were still teenagers when they enlisted. Clark's harrowing experiences are filled with photographs and updated information, making this new edition a powerful tribute to the lives of these extraordinary warriors. With its raw and unflinching portrayal of war, Guns Up! is a powerful and thought-provoking read that sheds light on a pivotal moment in history.
