Description

The Greatest Beer Run Ever: A Crazy Adventure in a Crazy War *NOW a MAJOR MOVIE* In 1968, a chance encounter in a New York bar led to a legendary mission. Ex-Marine and merchant seaman "Chick" Donohue volunteered to sneak into Vietnam to track down his buddies in combat, bringing them a cold beer and supportive messages from home. This remarkable true story recounts how he carried out his quest, tracking down disbelieving soldiers one by one, and the unexpected adventures that followed. As Chick navigated the war-torn country, he found himself in the Demilitarized Zone and caught up in the chaos of Saigon during the Tet Offensive. With indomitable spirit, he survived on his wits, but what he discovered in Vietnam came as a shock. By the end of his epic adventure, battered and exhausted, Chick was left questioning why his friends had been led into the war in the first place. This is the astonishing true story of how one man's bravery and determination helped him complete the impossible.
