Hal Moore and Joe Galloway return to Vietnam and reflect on how the war changed them, their men, their enemies, and both countries&#8212;often with surprising results. </b> More than fifteen years since its original publication, the number one <i>New York Times</i> bestseller <i>We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young</i> is still required reading in all branches of the military. Now Moore and Galloway revisit their relationships with ten American veterans of the battle&#8212;men such as Sgt. Maj. Basil Plumley and helicopter pilot Bruce "Old Snake" Crandall&#8212;as well as Lt. Gen. Nguyen Hu An, who commanded the North Vietnamese Army troops on the other side, and two of his old company commanders. These men and their countries have all changed dramatically since the first head-on collision between the two great armies back in November 1965. Traveling back to the red-dirt battlefields, commanders and veterans from both sides make the long and difficult journey from old enemies to new friends. After a trip in a Russian-made helicopter to the Ia Drang Valley in the Central Highlands, with the Vietnamese pilots using Moore's vintage U.S. Army maps and Galloway's Boy Scout compass to guide them, they reach the hallowed ground where so many died. All the men are astonished at how nature has reclaimed the land once scarred by bullets, napalm, and blood. As darkness falls, the unthinkable happens&#8212;the authors and many of their old comrades are stranded overnight, alone, left to confront the ghosts of the departed among the termite hills and creek bed. Moore and Galloway combine gritty and vivid detail with reverence and respect for their comrades. Their ability to capture man's sense of heroism and brotherhood, their love for their men and their former enemies, and their fascination with the history of this enigmatic country make for riveting reading. With sixteen pages of photos, tributes to departed friends and loved ones, and General Moore's reflections on lessons learned throughout his military career, <i>We Are Soldiers Still</i> puts a human face on warfare in a way that will not soon be forgotten. 3125364 1 8 2008 We Are Soldiers Still: A Journey Back to the Battlefields of Vietnam total:32|5:8|4:16|3:6|2:1|1:1| 32 125 73 14 3 0 false false Sat Jun 13 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 13 20:29:56 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 17 20:41:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Jan 25 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 05 10:56:20 -0800 2008 Sun Jan 25 12:55:31 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Sun Feb 22 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 14:10:37 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 23 14:17:29 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Jul 17 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 23:40:22 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 23:44:27 -0700 2009
