Download Heroes and Revolution in Vietnam Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
On the eve of the war against the South Vietnamese regime in 1964, the communist party strove to carve out a new productivist and political elite from the towns and villages of the country. According to a categorization of patriotic exemplarity devised by Ho Chi Minh, "avant-garde workers," "exemplary soldiers" and "new heroes" would fill the ranks of a "new model society," one in which political virtue would serve as the principle to mobilize the masses. This study presents and analyzes the process by which "new heroes" were invented. It first develops a picture of what constituted heroes in Vietnamese tradition and history, and then shows how the new model, effectively a Sino-Soviet import, was imposed, only to be slowly distorted by its own cultural rationale and by specific objectives. Far from being a transitory phenomenon, this model has contributed for more than half a century to the reconstruction of the national imagination and the development of a new collective, patriotic and communist memory in Vietnam. «This fascinating account is like no other study in French or English. Based on primary sources from Archives No. III in Hanoi and scores of interviews, it is a fascinating read.» -Christopher Goscha, Professor of International Relations, Universite du Quebec a Montreal

Download When Spirits Speak: A Gathering of Heroes Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The stories in this book are from soldiers who once served in Vietnam and who have contacted me via the world of spirit. Their stories are filled with the dreams of young men who grew into adults all too quickly in a land not their own. They speak of the bond between soldiers; the brotherhood that stands the test of time and distance; the fear they lived with each day; how they wrote letters that would be sent to their families if they were killed; and the simple things they came to take for granted. Some speak of their love of Vietnam and its people. And many of them convey their last few hours on the earthly plane. "Jeri Tory Conklin-a gifted intuitive, archaeologist, and investigative author-again lifts the veil between the visible and invisible world, this time to give us an inside perspective on veteran experiences during the Vietnam War. An eye-opening, inspirational book." -Patricia Johnston, professor of anthropology; owner, grief coach at Purple Lotus Coaching http: //purplelotuscoaching.com/ "Seeking answers to "Why, is there no peace?" comes to us all when we send a loved one or venture into the path of war. Living without closure bids us to seek out those with "The Gift" of sight into the world of spirit. I have found closure within these pages. Your eyes will be opened, if you have lost a loved one to death on a battlefield. " -Pamelia Cannataro, military dependent and Vietnam veteran's widow

The American invasion and strategies are a crucial factor in the case of the Vietnam war. The U.S supported South Vietnam in financial ways as well as offered their military support. Their soldiers were trained and implemented many tactics to battle, especially against the guerilla techniques of the Vietnamese. William Pitsenbarger, William Maud Bryant and Jimmie. E. Howard were some of those brave militants who participated in the series of attacks. Pits dedicated his life to the rescue of the troops and fought back as much as possible in the Xa Cam My incident on April 11, 1966. While Jimmie.E. Howard participated in the intense attack at Chu Lai on June 13, 1966 and Bryant was shot by the rocket from the adversary in 1969. All of these men were honored for their dedication and sacrifice. Additionally, Bryant Hall was dedicated to his bravery. When his battalion ran out of ammunition, Jimmie Howard gave one of the most famous orders in military history: to hurl stones at the enemy. They deceived the adversaries as they believed that they were explosives. The sacrifice made by Pits on his off day and volunteered to rescue the militants also made the rest of the survivors owe towards him. The entire nation bowed before him for that. Thus, these brave warriors adorned military history.

There are many broad studies of the Vietnam War, but this work offers an insight into the harrowing experiences of just a small number of men from a single unit, deep in the jungles of Vietnam and Cambodia. Its focus is the remarkable account of a Medal of Honor recipient Leslie Sabo Jr., whose brave actions were forgotten for over three decades. Sabo and other replacement soldiers in Bravo Company, 3rd Battalion, 506th Infantry (Currahees), 101st Airborne Division, were involved in intense, bloody engagements such as the battle for Hill 474 and the Mother's Day Ambush. Beginning with their deployment at the height of the blistering Tet Offensive, and using military records and interviews with surviving soldiers, Eric Poole recreates the terror of combat amidst the jungles and rice paddies of Vietnam. Company of Heroes, now published in paperback tells the remarkable story of how Sabo earned his medal, as Bravo Company forged bonds of brotherhood in their daily battle for survival.

Download First Heroes Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
The result of five years of research, First Heroes untangles an intricate web of information and ultimately concludes that the prisoners of war that were held captive in Southeast Asia were forgotten or ignored by their own country. Author Rod Colvin crisscrossed the country interviewing military and government officials, veterans, returned POWs, political figures, journalists, and members of the National League of Families and the National Forget-Me-Not Association and balances hard facts with the dramatic personal accounts of parents, wives, brothers, sisters, and children who have waged a difficult battle for the truth about their loved ones. This chronicle is as much a testament to the faith and unending hope of the family members as it is the story of the men themselves. First Heroes is destined to change the way readers think about war, freedom, and their country.
