In \u003ci\u003eJourney among Heroes, \u003c\/i\u003e he presents a view of that war through the eyes of a tourist. Traveling by ancient motorcycle, bus, speedboat, train, aircraft, and car, Greer enjoyed a privileged view of what really happened in Vietnam. He offers a glimpse of the war's human aspect through interviews of eleven of Vietnam's Hero Mothers, a designation bestowed on more than 44,000 of the country's mothers who lost more than two family members while fighting the war. Greer tells of the great courage and an amazing female fighting tradition that possibly tipped the scales in favor of the eventual victors, and he tells of losses unimaginable to Westerners. \u003ci\u003eJourney among Heroes\u003c\/i\u003e communicates how Vietnam experienced a harrowing era and why it is now time to lend a helping hand.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bob Greer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 142699611X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781426996115\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Trafford Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.83lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.59d","brand":"Bob Greer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48439060398335,"sku":"9781426996115","price":14.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b4f624e-7048-41a9-a34f-ca2c2fba3474.jpg?v=1777175160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/journey-among-heroes-bob-greer-9781426996115","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
