Book Description
The acclaimed Vietnam Journal series from Don Lomax, nominated for a Harvey Award, is collected and presented as a series of graphic novels. Vietnam Journal is a look at the Vietnam War through the eyes of a war journalist, Scott 'Journal' Neithammer, as he chronicles the lives and events of soldiers on the front line during the Vietnam War. Creator Don Lomax based Vietnam Journal on his experiences on his tour of duty in Vietnam in the mid 1960's. In VOLUME THREE, Scott ‘Journal’ Neithammer returns to Vietnam, having recovered from his war injuries, but his expectations of being assigned to a safe area dissipate as he is dropped into the middle of a firefight in the Mekong Delta. Neithammer joins up with a new group deployed in the Vietnam War by the US Navy...the Seals. They’re not exactly happy with the older 'Journal' tagging along but orders are orders. The problem is 'Journal' can’t really figure out what the Seals’ orders exactly are. As preparations get underway for the Dak To engagement, 'Journal' ventures out into the jungle but ends up escorting a pregnant villager to safety only to discover she’s really with the enemy. And afterwards, as a battle rages towards occupying a hill that has no significant value, 'Journal' finds he has to deal with both choking gas and Vietcong snipers. These stories plus a short story titled “Dustoff” are included in Book Three. Collects comic book issues #9-12. Entertainment Weekly labels Vietnam Journal as "a graphic novel you should own" and is recommended by the Military History Book Club, while Max Brooks (World War Z) names Vietnam Journal as one of his best war comic series. "Lomax bases his fictional work on his real experiences in Vietnam in 1966, with powerful results. It is Lomax's concern for average soldiers that, in the end, makes his work significant." - Publishers Weekly. "This is, without a doubt, the most graphic, realistic and emotionally powerful portrayal of the Vietnam War that's ever been seen in comic form." - Jason E. Aaron, Wizard’s 2008 Best Writer. "Even today, VIETNAM JOURNAL is one of the most gritty and brutally honest war stories ever published." - Brian Cronin, Comic Book Resources. A Caliber Comics release.

Book Description
Merriam Press Military Monograph 97. Second Edition (February 2012). It is a well established fact that there is a relationship between how well soldiers are cared for and how well they fight. That fact may explain why the American soldier is the best fighter in the world. Thanks to men and women like Dr. Bartecchi our troops in Vietnam were cared for as in no other war. Your chances of survival were greater if you were wounded on a battlefield in Vietnam than if you were in a crash on an American highway. But that care went beyond the GI. Vietnam may be the only war we ever fought, or perhaps that was ever fought, in which the American soldier added to their heroism a humanitarianism unmatched in the annals of warfare. And the humanitarianism took place during the heat of the battle. He fixed as he fought, he cured and educated and built in the middle of the battle. What other Army has ever done that? Humanitarianism was our victory in Vietnam. The kinds and quality of our humanitarian work in Vietnam is documented in this book. Join Doctor Bartecchi in his remarkable journey through Vietnam from the time of the French, the Japanese, and the French again, through the war up to the present. You will meet some of the truly great heroes and heroines of any war. Leading the humanitarian charge were medical helicopter crews known as Dust Off. Dust Off was born at Soc Trang, where Dr. Bartecchi began his career in military medicine. Dr. Bartecchi writes of the legendary Charles “Mad Man” Kelly who gave his life to save the Dust Off resource; and whose dying words, “When I have your wounded” set a standard for battlefield evacuation unmatched in the annals of war. With their great new steed of combat, Huey, the Dust Off crew rescued some one million souls; men, women, children, friendly as well as hostile. Vietnam was a helicopter war and Dr. Bartecchi takes us through the history of helicopters in Vietnam. We learn that Dust Off was not the first to evacuate patients by helicopter and, to the dismay of some macho pilots, we learn that the first successful helicopter pilot was a woman. Anyone who has ever served in Vietnam knows what a loveable people the Vietnamese are. One senses that Dr. Bartecchi fell in love with them, saw their great need and determined to help. Since the war he has organized monumental medical contributions surely resulting in many lives saved. Those efforts continue to this day and this book will certainly encourage others to do the same. All the curing and caring and healing, which continue to this day, deserve a memorial. In this superb book Doctor Bartecchi chronicles the grounds for such a memorial.
