Tiger Mountain: Hispanics in the Vietnam War is an oral history by eight Hispanics and one Anglo veteran. The narrative follows the veterans as they go through Basic Training, as they arrive in Vietnam, as they enter into combat or go to their assigned stations. It describes their reactions to white and Black soldiers, and how they are treated by their contemporaries. It shows how the humanity of the various ethnic groups eventually triumphs in building respect among the men. A number of them empathize strongly with the Vietnamese people, seeing themselves, their conditions as minorities reflected in the people around them.
