New York 1987, Morrow, US First edition, hard bound in dust jacket, 6x9, VG/VG condition, 305 pages, glossary. -------------------------------------------------------- The Offering is the true story of a lieutenant fresh from West Point who arrives for his tour of duty in Vietnam at the worst part of the war. He served with the 101st Airborne division, commanding a LRRP platoon, and later as an advisor to the South Vietnamese army. Tom Carhart's vivid re-creation of those hellish days keeps his faith with those who offered themselves to their country. Some returned whole. Some came home badly wounded. Others made the greatest sacrifice: Their Offering was accepted. They are remembered on the black granite panels of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.-----------------------------------------------------------Carhart presents real truths about men at war. Not every soldier is brave. Not every officer is right when giving orders. Nor does Carhart hide his own failures. His is a human story about an inhuman war. For Carhart the ultimate question is: Should a West Pointer's code of conduct be sacrificed to the gods of political expediency?This is a soul-searching book. Combat scenes are frighteningly real. A love affair with a beautiful, older French woman in Saigon unfolds with the beauty of an orchid bearing dew on its petals in the early light of dawn. Meanwhile, the counterpoint of war rushes to a crescendo for survival. That Carhart survived is a miracle. But then, this is a miraculous story.
