We Are Soldiers Still Zusammenfassung

We Are Soldiers Still: A Journey Back to the Battlefields of Vietnam Harold G. Moore

Almost 15 years since its original publication the bestseller We Were Soldiers Once And Young (1992) is still required reading in all branches of the military. Every day the authors receive letters from readers wanting to know what's happened to the characters they came to admire such as Ed 'Too Tall to Fly' Freeman and Bruce 'Old Snake' Crandall. There are also questions about whether they are still in touch with their North Vietnam counterparts and where they are now. Many of these questions are finally answered in We are Soldiers Still, which recounts a unique journey back to the battlefields by the commanders and veterans of both sides - a journey which ended with the authors and some of the comrades stranded overnight, alone, on the isolated field code-named Landing Zone XRay where so many perished. They will tell what was learned and felt during a night when a meteor shower filled the sky and peace came upon them. The authors mix gritty and vivid detail with reverence and respect for their comrades. Their authority on the military, their ability to capture man's sense of heroism and brotherhood, and readers' fascination with their story is sure to make this a must-buy book for all history buffs. While We Were Soldiers brought to life an important moment in US history, We are Soldiers Still will illuminate how that history has changed the authors, the men involved, and our country.

We Are Soldiers Still Bewertungen

It would be a monumental task for Moore and Galloway to top their classic 1992 memoir, We Were Soldiers Once...and Young. But they come close in this sterling sequel...This book proves again that Moore is an exceptionally thoughtful, compassionate and courageous leader and a strong voice for reconciliation and for honoring the men with whom he served. -- Publishers Weekly(starred review)
An emotional follow-up to military lifer Moore and reporter Galloway's intense 1992 telling of the Vietnam War's first major battle between American and North Vietnamese troops. This time, the two, along with other American survivors of the fight, revisit the Ia Drang valley, scene of the bloody 1965 battle-accompanied by the Communist commanders and soldiers who were trying to kill them. -- New York Post
A worthy and wise successor to one of the best books ever about combat in Vietnam. -- Kirkus Reviews
We Are Soldiers Still tells the recent story of how Moore and Galloway organized meetings with the Vietnamese commanders they'd fought against so fiercely. . . . There is honor and a measure of military glory in the retelling and in the reunion. -- Christian Science Monitor
Bookstores are filled with rows of books on leadership and management, but We Are Soldiers Still stands over the rest. Words like riveting and compelling hardly do the book justice...Moore's reflections on leadership alone make this book worth its purchase price...Moore and Galloway's latest volume is a moving tribute to the American soldier. -- Army magazine
A moving testimonial. . . .The memoir poignantly addresses the blindness of war and the compensatory urgings of the heart to be human. -- Rocky Mountain News
