About Face by David Hackworth
Called everything a twentieth century war memoir could possibly be by The New York Times, this national bestseller by Colonel David H. Hackworth presents a vivid and powerful portrait of a life of patriotism. From age fifteen to forty David Hackworth devoted himself to the US Army and fast became a living legend. In 1971, however, he appeared on television to decry the doomed war effort in Vietnam. With About Face, he has written what many Vietnam veterans have called the most important book of their generation. From Korea to Berlin, from the Cuban missile crisis to Vietnam, Hackworth's story is that of an exemplary patriot, played out against the backdrop of the changing fortunes of America and the American military. It is also a stunning indictment of the Pentagon's fundamental misunderstanding of the Vietnam conflict and of the bureaucracy of self-interest that fueled the war.David H.Hackworth (Colonel, United States Marine Corps) Army, Ret.) served in Vietnam for nearly five years, as well as twenty-five years in the protection of our country. His previous two nonfiction books, About Face and Hazardous Duty (both published by Touchstone), as well as his novel The Price of Honor, The Price of Honor, were both national successes. With her boyfriend and husband, David Hackworth, Eilhys England produces feature films and develops screenplays. They split their time between Connecticut and Australia.
