Nightingale was actually there for the battle, doing after-action intelligence gathering. Yet, he chose to write a novel about it instead of a history or memoir. This gives freedom to write descriptively, and oh so good it is. Particularly the natural setting. Lush. Sort of like nature writing + war - a strange yet effective mixture, I've never read anything quite like it. The main character is the jungle. He self-published in 2015 (why?). Then it took off on Amazon, and a commercial publisher released it in 2019. Audiobook followed. The zen-like attention to detail sets it apart, small things writers don't normally focus on. He describes body sweat in so many ways, not in one place it keeps re-appearing in different contexts. Or the shape of the trees, the root system, the character of the mud. It goes on, the details. It grounds you there. Technicolor Vietnam. ( ) inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
This military memoir examines one of the most vicious and tragically forgotten battles of the Vietnam War from a variety of perspectives. In June of 1967, the Viet Cong sought to isolate and destroy an elite South Vietnamese unit as part of a new offensive strategy. They sent a voluntary POW as an "informant" to dupe the 52nd Vietnamese Ranger Battalion into taking a dangerous position in the III Corps sector of South Vietnam. In the midst of an ambush, the members of the 52nd Ranger Battalion conducted themselves with great skill and valor. As one of those men, Keith Nightingale is uniquely suited to relate the events of that day. Based on firsthand experience as well as After Action Reports from a variety of sources, Just Another Day in Vietnam explores multiple perspectives, affording equal weight to ally and enemy alike. Nightingale offers rare insight into the often misunderstood role of the elite Vietnamese Ranger forces; the intelligence acquired from captured Rangers; and a rare eyewitness account to this fateful yet underexamined Vietnam battle.
