Recent release "Romeo 1-1: Vietnam Tour of Duty" from Page Publishing author James McGinnis is a riveting first-hand account of life inside the 196th Light Infantry Brigade in the midst of an important turning point in American history: the Vietnam War.
WALDWICK, N.J., Oct. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- James McGinnis, a Vietnam veteran and recipient of the prestigious Combat Infantryman Badge, has completed his new book "Romeo 1-1: Vietnam Tour of Duty": a gripping and authentic account of life in combat. Compiled of entries from the diary he kept, McGinnis paints a picture of what it was like to serve in the 196th Light Infantry Brigade.
"I hope this diary will give you some perspective, too, and insight from inside my tour of duty," McGinnis writes in his preface. "It is not entirely easy to share this as it has been over fifty-four years since I wrote it… I think I needed to be ready to share it."
Published by Page Publishing, James McGinnis's captivating tale details a year in his life stationed in South Vietnam from July 1966 to July 1967. From airmobile helicopter assaults to search-and-destroy missions to the dangerous night ambush patrols, McGinnis's diary entries casually chronicle the chilling reality of war. Even more impactful and humanizing, though, are the accounts of the relationships McGinnis formed paired with pictures from his time in service.
"I've kept my diary close to me," says McGinnis, "and it has been an important part of my life. If you ask me how my day is going now, I can look back to the same day during my year in Vietnam." He now generously shares this important part of his life with readers. "Romeo 1-1: Vietnam Tour of Duty" is a rare and intimate look into the soul of a soldier.
Readers who wish to experience this insightful work can purchase "Romeo 1-1: Vietnam Tour of Duty" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes Store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
