Echo Among Warriors: Close Combat in the Jungle of Vietnam

Richard Camp

A fictional account of gut-level combat as seen through the eyes of American and North Vietnamese participants. In war, every action has a beginning and an end. Echo Among Warriors is a story of close combat between two opposing, equally committed adversaries. The powerful narrative immerses the reader in both sides of the battle, playing and replaying the same battle sequence from alternating viewpoints - through the eyes of the Marines and through the eyes of the North Vietnamese. The bullet fired from a Marine’s M-16 at a silhouetted enemy solider crouched on the jungle path will in the next chapter tear into the flesh of that crouched NVA trooper. The story - unfolding from the initial contact to the final horrific ending - represents just one of perhaps thousands of deadly encounters that reflect the reality of battle - a mind-numbing, intensely personal experience that forever changes the participant. AUTHOR: Colonel Dick Camp, a Purple Heart recipient, served 26 years in the U.S. Marine Corps before retiring in 1988. Upon retirement he served as the Deputy Director, U.S. Marine Corps History Division and as the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation, Vice President for Museum Operations at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, Quantico, Virginia. Currently residing in Fredericksburg, Virginia, he is the author of many books and over 100 magazine articles on various military-related subjects.
