Description

Grunts: The American Combat Soldier in Vietnam, now in its second edition, offers an intimate portrait of the 870,000 American soldiers who served as front-line troops during the Vietnam War. Authors Kyle Longley and Jacqueline Whitt shift focus from broad military strategy to the lived experiences of individual combatants, drawing on authentic letters, oral histories, and memoirs from actual veterans. This history explores the complete journey of the American combat soldier - from the initial decision to enlist, through rigorous training and the realities of combat operations, to the challenging process of readjusting to civilian life whilst carrying the weight of wartime memories. The second edition presents a fresh analytical approach that humanises the Vietnam War experience, making it essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the personal stories behind one of America's most contested military conflicts.

Key Features

The second edition of Grunts provides updated perspectives on the American combat soldier's experience in Vietnam with renewed historical analysis.

Primary sources including authentic letters, oral histories, and memoirs from 870,000 Vietnam veterans form the foundation of this research.

The narrative follows the complete soldier's journey from enlistment and training through combat deployment and civilian readjustment.

Authors Kyle Longley and Jacqueline Whitt centre front-line troops' day-to-day experiences rather than military command decisions and strategy.
