Riveting page turner!, Mar 25 2004
By "fordgold2" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Vietnam (Paperback)
Vietnam: One Unaccounted For had me enthralled from the very beginning. Character and environmental descriptions draw one into the jungles and enhance the realism of this author's tale. Written in the words of someone whose experiences inspire awe, the book was difficult to put down. This era of our history is ripe with the kind of thought provoking accounts that seldom get told. Often ashamed of the public perceptions of that time, soldiers' stories bear more fiction than fact. Having served in that war, I recognized events in this book that I had forgotten about. Good times as well as the traumatic are the way of life for any soldier. Mr. Giese has captured the true essence of that experience.
I salute the author for his story-telling ability and can't wait to read his next effort. Welcome home and GREAT job!

Book Description'Vietnam: One Unaccounted For' is a version of the author's actual experiences as a U.S. Army, Special Forces/Special Operations soldier during one of his six years in Vietnam.
the author was never a Special Forces/Special Operations soldier and did not spend six years in Vietnam. this can be verified through various sources.
