An officer in the 82nd Airborne and 31st Infantry Regiment divisions, Michael Strand saw significant combat action as an infantry platoon leader in the Mekong Delta in 1968 and 1969. In straightforward, thoughtful writing, this memoir recalls Strand's early life in Toledo, Ohio; training as a regular Army officer in ranger and airborne schools; and his wartime experience including combat patrols, booby traps, woundings, KIAs, disillusionment, and growing as a leader as he served his men.
