Explanation In Favor Of Books Beneath the Bamboo: A Vietnam War Story

Excerpt:

“I watched two point men take a 50-caliber machine gun bullet to the head, and watched the third being grabbed and taken behind enemy lines. Two of the enemy soldiers, which we often referred to as gooks, quickly came after me. As I quickly mowed them down with my automatic rifle, I crawled backwards away from the enemy gunfire, using my helmet to push sand in front of me as I went, which made it possible to look behind me. But as I looked back, I realized that my safety net was no longer safe. I saw my entire company falling like dominoes. Medics were running left and right, risking their lives to help others with bravery that even the most amazing soldier couldn’t hope to match. Some of the events I witnessed during that moment were beyond comprehension. I watched a young, courageous black medic take an 81-millimeter round to his head, and his whole body instantly turned to smoke. Young nineteen and twenty year old kids were crying like children, but fighting like someone had raped their sisters. So many things were going through my head at that moment, and in one single heartbeat I was overwhelmed with a flashback of my entire life. This is my story, from point A to B, of my life and times in the midst of hell on Earth.”

Evaluation Out Of Books Beneath the Bamboo: A Vietnam War Story

You don,t have to be big in stature to have a big heart!This was a good book written by one, good brave soldier . This guy grew up to be a truly good man in spite of having the odds stacked again him as a youth. I grew up with a kid in a similar situation who became a tunnel rat. It did not go well for him unfortunately.

A first-person account of one soldier's journey through the Vietnam War. Stan Taylor's step-father is a career Army soldier who uses military style disciplines when raising him from a young age. He had always thought his step-father was overly abusive in his methods but discovered as a teenager that he was following a plan to mold this youngster into a man who could take care of himself.When he enters the Army and eventually sent to Vietnam, he volunteers for the jobs nobody else wanted: walking

I gave this 4 stars for the story, not the writing. Not an exceptional book but an exceptional story. Any autobiography by a vet deserves, no demands at least 4 stars in my opinion, and I guess a review is my Union. It was a captivating book, quick and easy to read. I'm going to let my 11 year old read it.

An informative book.it is hard to believe that during the Viet Nam war I was a teenager but I do not remember it. this is the second book I have read about the war. it is a wonderful book I enjoyed reading about his bravery.

👍Good read that's all why do I have to type a long summary about a book just to return the damn thing

Very good read. I really enjoy books like this that are written by the person who was there. It must be difficult at times to share these memories and I for one really appreciate it.

Rings honest and trueI was there at the same time and Stan gives us a story that could have been any of us but is his own journey through a dark time. Duty. Honor. Bravery. All there with the humanity and insanity that is war.
