The trials of a U.S. Army platoon serving in the field during the Vietnam War.

This series offers an unflinching look at the "tours of duty" of several members of a platoon during the Vietnam War. Death is inevitable in war, and major characters do die. The protagonists face the Viet Cong, social disapproval, and sometimes themselves over the course of the series.—Jason A. Cormier <[email protected]>
