Into the Rice Paddies and Jungle Canopies of Viet Nam

The Vietnam War was a long, costly and divisive conflict. It was a war that divided the Americans. Some fully supported it, while the other half expressed their disdain. Aside from North Vietnam, the Viet Cong, and South Vietnam, the main players were the United States of America and the Soviet Union. The Cold War between the two latter parties intensified the already deadly war. The United States mainly supported South Vietnam, while the Soviet Union and their ally in the South, the Viet Cong, supported the North. Many people see this war in the facet of its controversy. However, real-life, firsthand accounts of American soldiers will shed new light on it. In his book, “Bu Ku Kilo,” Arthur De Groot will take us into the deep jungles of Vietnam for a glimpse of what had transpired in the frontlines of this controversial war.
 
In this memoir, De Groot will take us deep within the canopies of Vietnam’s jungles. The story will compel each reader to witness the hardships and valiance of soldiers through their perspective. It offers a different view that completely sums up the life of every soldier caught in the crossfire of conflicting national interests.
 
De Groot’s recollection is an in-depth account of the daily life of the soldiers in Vietnam, the good, the bad, and the ugly. More importantly, it is an eye-opener and a testament to the bravery of the soldiers who were sent to fight the wars of the United States of America, willingly or forcibly. Grab your copy now!
