Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Platoon commander Peter Winter was a career soldier who went to Vietnam in 1970 with ambitions of advancement and promotion. The experience of war resulted in upheaval, anger with the Moratorium movement back home, and a general feeling of isolation from the rest of his countrymen. Each day, he would write home to his family to tell of his emotions and opinions. This compilation of those letters, a soldier's personal war, is gripping reading for anyone who was there, or who has an interest in the Vietnam War.
