Inhaltsangabe

Through the eyes of a Marine radioman, Sudden Death unveils the constant threat of death in Vietnam’s unforgiving jungles.

His call sign said it all: Sudden Death. It didn’t take George Uhl long into his tour to learn that in Vietnam death could be lurking behind the next tree, in the next rice paddy, on the next patrol, on his very next step down a damp jungle path. From April 1966 to May 1967, the Marine radioman was in the thick of things, and in this unforgettable memoir, he vividly describes his tour in Southeast Asia, recounting the sleepless nights, the scorching days, and the terrifying minutes that seemed like days, and remembering the thoughts and fears of a young man fighting a war—and trying to stay alive—thousands of miles from home.
