Kurt A. Vomberg's Newly Released "The Shadow of Death" is a Harrowing Memoir of a Christian American Soldier's Experiences in Vietnam
"The Shadow of Death" from Christian Faith Publishing author Kurt A. Vomberg is a layered, contemplative memoir from a true decorated American patriot who fought in the deadly Vietnam War environment with an award-winning valor, an unshakeable sense of duty, and a mental toughness and will to live that helped him survive one of the most testing, defining periods of his life.
MEADVILLE, Pa., Nov. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- "The Shadow of Death": an intense memoir about the Vietnam War. "The Shadow of Death" is the creation of published author Kurt A. Vomberg, a freelance writer who proudly served in the US Army on a one-year tour of duty in Vietnam and now resides in his ranch in Bristow, Oklahoma.
Vomberg writes, "I read The Red Badge of Courage as a boy. Stephen Crane's classic book gets its name from the bloody bandages of the Civil War's wounded soldiers. The story follows a naive young man who goes off to fight. He fantasizes about finding glory, honor, and his manhood on the battlefield.
In his first battle, he experiences the blood and gore of war, and he struggles with his own fear and cowardice. The main character, Henry Fleming, must dig deep within himself to find the courage and bravery to continue as a soldier. Ultimately, he prevails and comes to realize that war is brutal.
The Red Badge of Courage comes to mind when I think about my time in Vietnam.
More than forty years have passed since I went to war. Most of my combat experiences are as clear in my mind as they were the moment that they happened. Yet I buried them for thirty-plus years. I would not let myself talk about them. I wouldn't think about them.
I believed that if I was ever to live a normal life, I had to clear my mind of Vietnam and all that happened there."
Published by Christian Faith Publishing, Kurt A. Vomberg's new book is a searing glimpse into the real world of warfare, cutting through the Hollywood glamour to properly pay tribute to the silenced Soldiers who gave their all for their country.
Vomberg generously shares his defining moments with alacrity and depth of introspection, divulging the true and long-lasting cost of war on those called to fight it.
