Description
Right after college graduation, Costa, a lower-middle-class kid from Buffalo, New York, is drafted into the US Army and plunged into the Vietnam War right after college graduation. "The Foot Solder," by Mark Rubinstein, author of Love Gone Mad and Mad Dog House, catapults the reader back to the conflict that changed America.
A compelling novella of morality--right or wrong in a split second in the hell of the jungle--when it really matters, regardless of rank, military orders or rule books, asks how a soldier survives, how he deals with dislocation, and how he reacts when given an order that defies everything he's ever believed about the human soul.
Advance Praise
"`The Foot Soldier' lets you experience the Vietnam War without having been there. It's a chilling story but a must-read."—Martin Isler, Cpl, 108th Infantry, World War II, Pacific Theatre
"The story sounds like the days in the life of a grunt, and it's well written."—Bob Elton, 1st Lt, MACV (Military Assistance Command, Vietnam) MAT I-13, 1970B1971
