Recent release "A Stateside Tour of Duty" from Page Publishing author Neil Mitchell is a lively novelized account of the life and career of Nick Moultrie, a man drafted into the US Army during the Vietnam War, where in his struggle with loneliness hooks up with a beautiful girl who would become his wife--but while she goes to give birth to their daughter at her parents' home in Phoenix, Nick is left to navigate the minefield of personal honor and avoid ending his military career in disgrace for the minor infraction of a government regulation.
PROVO, Utah, Nov. 2, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Neil Mitchell was born in Mississippi to a career USAF family and earned degrees in political science and accounting. He lives in Provo, Utah as a widower and retired from dual careers in tax preparation and as a teamster. His new book, A Stateside Tour of Duty is a very entertaining novelized Army memoir.
Author Mitchell writes about the state of affairs during Nick's time: "Nick Moultrie is drafted into the US Army at the height of the Vietnam War. By dumb luck, the new lieutenant avoids being shipped to Vietnam and is assigned to Fort Benjamin McCulloch, Texas. As a pencil pusher for the military police on base, he is safe from the mortal perils of ambushes and booby traps in Southeast Asia, yet he faces other perils almost daily in his mostly desk job stateside. His poorly disciplined unit more resembles the Keystone Cops than professional law enforcement personnel. Lieutenant Moultrie finds himself surrounded by incompetent or corrupt commanding officers, and he never knows when the mind-numbing tedium of his job will suddenly erupt into a crazy, senseless episode in which people are killed and military careers are destroyed."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Neil Mitchell's new book is an engaging and unexpectedly uplifting tale, considering the jaded state in which the main character leaves his Army life. All in all, it is a portrait of wisdom acquired through the hardening events of one of the most trying times in American history.
Readers who wish to experience this riveting work can purchase "A Stateside Tour of Duty" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
