Publisher's summary

Comedy and calamity are interlaced throughout the stories of a WW II war baby finding his place in the world. His foibles and adventures are told with a dry sense of humor as he bounces off the walls of good and bad behavior throughout his youth and into adulthood. A mischievous nature and an innate disrespect for authority cause a clash with the rigidity of serving in the military. The tales of his year in Vietnam are both hilarious and harrowing.

Great book really enjoyable!

Being from Boston and also losing a cousin in Vietnam this book gave me insight into Vietnam told with the sarcasm and wit you would expect from a Bostonian. Richard and the book are both treasures.
