Summary
The audiobook, The Arctic Jungles of Vietnam, is the life story of a Black soldier from the Deep South during the Vietnam war era. The story begins with a description of his family and how they survived with the bare minimum of necessities for a life in the South. His experiences in grade school and high school including the Superintendent of Autauga County School System’s commencement message are an integral part of the story. Further, we learn why and how this young man decided to go into the military.
The listener is transported through the details of his basic training at Ft. Jackson, South Carolina to the development, deployment, desegregation, discrimination and the complete life-transforming saga of a desperate teen into a soldier, culminating into his traumatic re-entry into America!
An eye-opening, heart-stopping, reflective commentary on military stats are given on the unfathomable amount of loss to our soldiers with an emphasis on the black soldier are also included!
