Not Going Home Alone: A Marine's Story Mass market paperbound - 2001
by James Kirschke
The author, a First Lieutenant in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War, shares his experiences of the war, and tells how he led by example in the zone just south of the DMZ and in the dangerous AnHoa region southwest of DaNang. There, Kirschke's units saw some of the fiercest fighting of 1966.
From the publisher
From the jacket flap
"Experience the pain, the pride, and the triumph of the Marine Corps
All the members of 1st Lt. James J. Kirschke's mortar platoon and then rifle platoon knew the stakes: the Marines are America's military elite, expected to train harder, fight longer, sacrifice more. Kirschke led by example in the hotly contested zone just south of the DMZ and in the dangerous AnHoa region southwest of DaNang. There Kirschke's units, with resources stretched to the limit, saw combat almost daily in some of the fiercest fighting of 1966.
Sustained through the toughest firefights and bloodiest ambushes, the men's morale proved a testament to Kirschke's leadership and his dedication to what the U.S. Marines stand for. Those beliefs, and the faith of his men, in turn helped Kirschke through his long recovery after he was wounded by the triple explosion of a box mine rigged to an anti-tank rocket round and a frag grenade.
The Marines' legend and reputation are based on the blood, courage, and discipline of warriors like Jim Kirschke. Sparing no one, he has written a powerful chronicle of the deadly war his Marines fought with valor.
