Faces of the Fallen: The Men Who Died in Vietnam, Christmas, 1967 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781721978717)

This book takes the reader back to a single day in Vietnam, December 25, 1967, to tell the stories of the twenty-five men who died that day, and to learn what their lives and deaths meant to their families, friends and comrades. The author, a Vietnam veteran, uses official documents, online archives, online posted messages, personal correspondence, diaries, interviews, news articles, televised reports, video clips, maps and photographs (some of which he took) to reconstruct for the reader many of the details of their lives and deaths. More than ten background chapters place these stories in the broader context of the war. Collectively, these stories are a "micro-history" of one day out of the nearly seven thousand days of the Vietnam War.
