Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewNearly three million Americans served in the Vietnam War. Each had his or her own take on what happened and why and many have tried to commit their war to paper. Phil Gioia has helped our understanding by detailing his days in-country and his informed perspectives in the midst of a fascinating, candid and brave memoir of a life of service. Bravo.
-- Ken Burns, filmmaker
At a time when Americans are better connected to one another than ever electronically, but more distant from one another emotionally and psychologically, Phil Gioia gives us a story about a living community committed to service and to one another. Danger Close! is a compelling and elegantly written memoir.
-- H. R. McMaster, author of Dereliction of Duty and Battlegrounds: The Fight to Defend the Free World
Phil Gioia has written a splendid account of his life and times, from growing up as an army brat to military school to the U.S. Army in Vietnam. Excellent storytelling, that kept me riveted to the pages from start to finish.
-- Joseph L. Galloway, coauthor of We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young, We Are Soldiers Still, and They Were Soldiers
