› Find signed collectible books: 'About Face'
From Library Journal: Authentic combat leaders--the real warriors--are apt to be professional misfits, especially off the battlefield. In this book America's most decorated living soldier tells his life story in formidable detail with outstanding battlefield realism. Colonel Hackworth left the Army and went into exile over the conduct of the Vietnam War. Like all good autobiographies, his often tells more than he intended. This is as earnest and self-revealing as Anthony B. Herbert's Herbert: The Making of a Soldier (LJ 9/1/82), but less laconic. A rousing good book which will be useful to military professionals as well. Military Book Club main selection. - Raymond L. Puffer, U.S. Air Force History Prog., Los Angeles Copyright 1989 Reed Business Information, Inc. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'The Price of Honour'
"Exciting and raw."(Library Journal) "Front-line legend Col. David H. Hackworth proves in this gripping tale that he is as accomplished a storyteller as he is a soldier. With vivid, powerful combat action and a terrific band of brothers in arms, The Price of Honor is one of the year's outstanding military thrillers."(W.E.B. Griffin) U.S. Army Special Forces Captain Sandy Caine's father had disgraced the family as a coward in Vietnam-at least, that's what he's been told. Now, he's about to uncover the truth about his father-and a legacy of lies built by the most powerful players in Washington. [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Steel My Soldiers' Hearts: The Hopeless to Hardcore Transformation of U.S. Army, 4th Battalion, 39th Infantry, Vietnam'
Steel My Soldiers' Hearts is retired Colonel David Hackworth's account of his tour of duty in Vietnam commanding the 4/39th, an infantry battalion operating south of Saigon in the Mekong River delta. Poorly led (the previous commander had based the battalion in the middle of a mine field), with frightfully high casualties (40 percent during the six months prior to Hackworth's arrival), and fighting in the most dangerous of terrain, the 4/39th was a dispirited and demoralized group when Hackworth assumed command in January, 1969. Upon arrival, Hackworth fired many of the senior officers and then put the 4/39th through "Combat 101," which made him so unpopular that at one point Hackworth was warned of a bounty some of his men had put out on him. Over the next five months, however, Hackworth would transform the 4/39 from "hopeless to hardcore," dramatically reverse the casualty rate, score some spectacular victories over the Viet Cong, and earn the undying respect of his troops. Here's a gung ho and earthy firsthand account of the Vietnam War that fans of We Were Soldiers Once... will appreciate. --Harry C. Edwards [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Vietnam 1968-1969: A Battalion Surgeon Journal'
Byron Holley spent the longest year of his young life in Vietnam as a surgeon of the 4th battalion of the 39th Regiment, 9th Infantry Division. He lived like a swamp rat in the boonies of the Mekong Delta, and his actions were sometimes all that made the difference between life and death. [Holleys] data base is from the letters he wrote home, so the story is 1969-fresh It will make you cry, laugh, and rage with anger.Colonel David H. Hackworth, author of About Face [via]
