About this audiobook
"Weapons of War'' is an amazing story of a young African American, who was drafted, trained as a combat soldier and deployed to the Republic of South Viet Nam. Assigned to the 101st Airborne Division (Alpha Co. 2/506 3rd Platoon), he soon discovered that the North Vietnamese Regulars, the Viet Cong Guerillas and the environmental conditions were not his only adversaries in this faraway war. Written from the soldier's actual letters sent home to his fiancee, the author offers readers a fascinating account of his service in the United Army and how he survived the enemies of war--danger, despair, temptation, fear and doubt-- armed with his training, his M-16 rifle, his writings (pen, paper and pictures) and his faith. Written in a captivating writing style "you" the reader will be drawn physically and emotionally into every moment of each letter.
