About the Book (Excerpts & Info)
Nobody completely escapes the effects of Viet Nam…There was more than one enemy in Viet Nam.
There was “Charlie,” who wanted to punch your helicopter full of holes with his AK-47 and bring you and the aircraft crashing down to the ground, down to your death.
There was your own malfunctioning equipment, like the faulty flare that went off inside your helicopter, knocking you out and almost setting your whole aircraft and its crew on fire.
Empty Tubes and Back Seat Memories is the fascinating and true tale of Russ Warriner’s year and a half tour in Viet Nam serving as Crew Chief and Door Gunner on an M3 Rocket System Huey in the U.S. Army Aerial Rocket Artillery (ARA).
It is a fascinating chronicle of the day by day activity of a young soldier who comes from a conventional life in a small town in Massachusetts, but who wants to serve his country and ends up doing so and being awarded a Purple Heart, more than a dozen Air Medals, and three Army Commendation medals for his heroism in battle.
It is a story of unconventional life in a controversial war.
As Russ Warriner says: “The permanent physical injuries from this war will always be apparent, but Russ shows us in his vivid narrative way the mental injuries can go unnoticed for years. These injuries are better know as PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder).
Deftly constructed at 375 pages, Empty Tubes and Back Seat Memories: A Life Changing Experience is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the History / Military / Vietnam War category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Empty Tubes and Back Seat Memories meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $16.95 and $28.95, respectively.
