Product description...

A soldier’s commitment to service, love and faith.

“Weapons of War’’ is an amazing story of a young African American, who was drafted, trained as a combat soldier and deployed to the Republic of South Viet Nam. Assigned to the 101st Airborne Division (Alpha Co. 2/506 3rd Platoon), he soon discovered that the North Vietnamese Regulars, the Viet Cong Guerillas and the environmental conditions were not his only adversaries in this faraway war. Written from the soldier’s actual letters sent home to his fiancee, the author offers readers a fascinating account of his service in the United Army and how he survived the enemies of war--danger, despair, temptation, fear and doubt-- armed with his training, his M-16 rifle, his writings (pen, paper and pictures) and his faith. Written in a captivating writing style “you” the reader will be drawn physically and emotionally into every moment of each letter. The book gives a clear understanding of what a combat soldier experiences (physically, emotionally and spiritually) during wartime. From “Boot Camp” to “Final Discharge” it is the author’s story of how service, love and faith shaped his character for the rest of his life. “Weapons of War” is an excellent book to read for personal growth and development. It offers thoughtful insight into the human spirit and what it takes to remain strong and focused in difficult times and situations. It is an inspirational testament to the power of faith, love and hope.

Author Information...

Robert E. WrightAfter almost 50 years of silence, “Weapons of War” has allowed me the opportunity to share my personal story of military service during the Vietnam Era. A time when thousands of men and women who served in the branches of the Armed Services overcame danger, hardship, loneliness, despair and even the loss of life. A time when (especially the combat soldier) service men and women were not viewed as heroes nor well received upon their return home from the war. But, in-spite of all the persecution, I will always be grateful for how the United States Army took a “Raw Recruit” (me) and developed a trained Combat Soldier and proved Leader.
