Vietnam stories

Jack Crouchet

1997
Vietnam War 1961-1975 Kriegsverbrechen

Complex stories of war-time bravery, brutality, compassion, and futility can be found in Vietnam Stories: A Judge's Memoir. Jack Crouchet, retired U.S. Army Colonel and former military judge, brings to life a controversial picture of Americans and Vietnamese in Vietnam during the war years of 1968-1969. Crouchet's unique position as military judge made him privy to the stories and lives of American soldiers, Vietnamese people, and the U.S. non-military residents who appeared before his court.

Though not a book of war stories per se, Vietnam Stories provides a unique overview of the historical time and includes the author's reflections on the politics of the Vietnam war.
