Sitting Duck, Adventures of a Saigon Warrior

Much has been written about fighter pilots shot down over enemy territory, or of the battle hardened "point-man" leading his eager men into the jaws of death. But what about the untold stories of men and women that cooked the meals, repaired the planes and equipment, typed the orders, and supported the combat troops from behind the scenes? There were no rear lines in Vietnam. Many of the names engraved on the cold granite of the Vietnam Memorial belong to individuals such as these. Let us not forget them.
Sitting Duck is the autobiography of an aircraft radar technician stationed near Saigon during the year of the "Tet Offensive" of 1968. He vividly recalls exploits from haggling over the price of peanuts from a disfigured child on a street in Saigon - to huddling in a soggy rat-infested bunker amid the onslaught of enemy rockets.
His story is told in a very personal down-to-earth manner dramatically revealing the exploits of "rear echelon" troops in Vietnam. The author provides interesting information about weapons and aircraft and curious facts about a war that changed the lives of so many Americans.
Sitting Duck contains an abundance of satire and wit sure to put a smile on the face of the most hardened veterans. It contains 56 never before published photographs.
