Drawing on his experiences from two tours in Vietnam, Brice H. Barnes has compiled a remarkable assortment of vignettes or very short stories, ranging all the way from the joys of getting gifts from the "church ladies" to helping to steal a peanut mill! With emphasis on the value of teamwork, these stories detail the finding of the largest weapons and arms cache in the entire war to committing several grand larcenies, as told by a highly decorated combat veteran. In a fitting tribute to the men who lived and fought with Barnes, these vignettes are dedicated to a variety of men who were major contributors to the successes that Barnes experienced, with a deep sense of gratitude that is expressed at the end of each vignette. The personal miracle that Barnes experienced during the Tet Counter-Offensive became the basis for his deep involvement with the Kairos Prison Ministry. Not surprisingly, Barnes offers thanks to his God for the multitude of blessings he has received during his military career and beyond, and hopes that this book will contribute to a better understanding of the ultimate goal of our mission in Vietnam and the healing of old wounds, both physical and mental.

Vignettes of Vietnam & Other Colorful Stories is a nostalgic collage of short stories, fermented and lingering, some for years, waiting on a venue to finally emerge. Hopefully, that time is now! Vignettes of Vietnam chronicles a young soldier’s experiences during his year’s tour of duty in the war-torn country and the discovery, while on an ambush patrol, of horrific photographs of GI comrades, captured, tortured and mutilated; the discovery of his Homie, butchered during an overnight LPR (Long Range Patrol), and his own subsequent escape, using arboreal survival strategies. The Excremenator provides insight into the violent life of young Anthony Morris. Born in the ‘hood’ (Chicago), he is a victim of the vicious street gang culture that results in the senseless death of his beautiful and beloved, Janet. Tired of the meaningless violence, he welcomes military conscription as a viable means of escape and redemption. But sent to ‘Nam, he’s forced to confront the reality of the correlation—urban (street gang affiliation), versus Jungle (military warfare), which proves instrumental in the determination of his outlook on life, as well as and his nasty name! The Night the Cow Got in Zion Franklin, Unforgettable Fang Grey, Snake Dancing, “A Tree. . . So Far! are comical (hopefully, colorful) highlights of an era long past.

Over the last fifty years or more, countless books have been written about the Vietnam War. The vast majority are about the daily experiences of the combat soldiers, marines and fighter pilots; strategies of the hard fought battles; heroes of the war who gave their lives to save others; etc, etc. But John Liberto has a different prospective of the war. It's been estimated that for every solider fighting the enemy there are forty to fifty military personnel backing him up; pilots, medics ( doctors and nurses ), office personnel, truck drivers, equipment mechanics, supply clerks, cooks; the list goes on and on. As a nineteen year old Army helicopter mechanic in a war zone he saw the war from a different prospective. He doesn't have a continuous war story to tell but this book contains seventeen different short stories about some of his experiences in the Army, most of them from his year in Vietnam.
