In Good Company: One Man's War in Vietnam
Author: Gary McKay
Soft cover; good condition. Signed copy.
In Good Company: One Man’s War in Vietnam by Gary McKay is a gripping first-person memoir that chronicles his transformation from a carefree 20‑year‑old—who lost the Vietnam War draft lottery on 8 March 1968 and went from surfing and rugby into military life—into a battle-tested platoon commander in the jungles of South Vietnam . Training at Scheyville prepared him for the horrors he would soon face leading riflemen through “blood, sweat and tears” during search‑and‑destroy missions and jungle warfare. McKay’s narrative culminates in a harrowing firefight against NVA forces in the hill bunkers of Nui Le, drawing on the authenticity of 80 letters he wrote home, and offering a deeply personal and visceral insight into the fear, camaraderie, and resilience of soldiers on the ground.
