It was the beginning of a wild, three-year ride that included a tour of duty with one of the first combat units sent to fight in the Vietnam War. It was a time when patriotism was still popular-before the draft, the drugs, and the discord.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDinky Dau: Love, War and the Corps is a tale of survival from enemy fire on the ground and in the air, to dysentery and a berserk Army doctor, to torrential monsoon rains and searing jungle heat, and nightmarish animals, insects, rodents and reptiles. It is also the story of two young lovers who, though separated by war, were reunited by a death decades later. Woven throughout the action is the story of friendships made during war and how they endure through the decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dave Zorn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1401013392\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781401013394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xlibris Us\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/12\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.60w x 0.39d","brand":"Dave Zorn","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46311136526591,"sku":"9781401013394","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ffdd5253-6f14-4241-b7fa-a75c835eac16.jpg?v=1730888538","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dinky-dau-dave-zorn-9781401013394","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
