Vietnam: A Marine's Chronicle Of Change: A Marine's Challenges From Boot Camp to In Country Leadership of a Combined Action Pla/Byron A. Mezick

"Vietnam: A Marine's Chronicle of Change" reveals in detail the reality of facing death, fear, courage, violence, sex, anger, and compassion. In these stories, you will experience the mindset of a Marine squeezing a rifle's trigger just before killing an unexpecting human being in an ambush. The path of transformation from private to sergeant will openly disclose how combat leadership confronts those in charge with personal fear and anxiety. The chronicles of change describe what it was like to be an enlisted man receiving missions conceived by politicians and led by officers. The lessons of combat survival tell in what manner a college of reality was inadvertently created. You will come to know how internal emotions must become secondary to leaders freeing themselves to educate, motivate, and inspire those in their command. This book is documentation of what it means to earn the title of U.S. Marine.
