For What It's Worth

Book Description: This non-fiction, coming-of-age story of a young Oregon man who joins the Green Berets unfolds in the chaotic late 1960's. We experience his steps as he graduates rigorous Special Forces' training and is selected as part of an elite team in Europe. This action/ true- life memoir concludes with revelations from his Vietnam tour-of-duty and his jungle patrols' diary written during the 1968 TET Offensive. Author Biography: "For What Its Worth" is this author's first published work. Writing at night and on weekends, the author scheduled himself one year to complete the book. Beginning on the anniversary date of his discharge from the Army, he kept to his schedule even when faced with technical equipment problems. The author recognizes his story came to be told by pure chance, but he found the journey to be engaging as well as cathartic. If there is another book forthcoming from this author, the subject matter will be entirely different as his file for this information is now closed.
