“Jim Markson’s letters sent home from Vietnam with his later recollections have produced a powerful book in Vietnam And Beyond, Veteran Reflections.

While Jim served in a supposedly ‘safe’ position, providing security for various American air based during his tour, the letters and memories demonstrate that in Vietnam no place was safe and that everywhere was the ‘front line.’ This became especially clear during the 1968 TET Offensive.

This book helps us understand that the American war in Vietnam needs to be understood not only from the perspective of the leadership, the infantry and the others involved in combat on a daily basis, but also from the point of view of the many thousands of Americans who did their duty in relatively unheralded ways.”

~Dr. Philip f. Napoli, Author of Bringing It All Back Home, and assistant professor of history at Brooklyn college, Brooklyn, New York
