En 1967, en la iglesia Riverside de la Ciudad de Nueva York, el Dr. King se paró frente a una audiencia entusiasmada y criticó la guerra de Vietnam como un acto de fuerza destructivo y una cruel manipulación de los pobres por parte de ambos bandos.

In 1967, Joe Putnam, fresh out of officer training school, is shipped overseas to Vietnam as part of President Johnson’s American Adviser program.

This plan would supposedly keep the Communists at bay without actually getting the U.S. into full-fledged war in Southeast Asia.

In the early 1970s, as US combat forces began to withdraw from Southeast Asia, South Vietnamese and Cambodian forces continued the fight against the People's Army of Vietnam and the National Front for the Liberation of South Vietnam, more commonly known as the Viet Cong.

A Different Face of War is a riveting account of one American officer in the Medical Service Corps during the early years of the Vietnam War.

This book consists of 35 letters that I wrote to my aunt while I was serving in Vietnam from October of 1967 1968. The letters contain my thoughts as a young Marine and continued through the end of my tour where I was still young but far more experienced.
