Fresh from its latest victory―the relief of Khe Sanh―1st Cav is sent to sweep North Vietnamese forces from the A Shau Valley, where Jif rises to the many challenges of commanding an artillery battery in the midst of chaotic combat. But he does more than polish his leadership skills; he begins to understand how the US effort in Vietnam is a full bloody circle, a deadly, never-ending cycle in which the Americans always find themselves back at square one, forced to engage a supposedly defeated enemy all over again, often on the same battlefields. The circle closes once more when, after another “Mission Accomplished,” 1st Cav suffers a crippling attack on its base camp, forcing Jif to ponder the Army’s future as well as his own. less
