"Dulce et Decorum est..." Popular movies have offered viewers a glimpse into the Vietnam War, but few address the reality of being a soldier in the conflict. Pachyderms is based on the true story of a soldier's experience during the unpopular police action. Young and anxious for a first military assignment, Dan Coobat is shocked to discover his first duty post is one to an aviation unit in a nonexistent outfit. With overwhelming obstacles and little formal training, Danny and brothers set about to create the 312th Aviation Company. Danny quickly discovers: "What the soldier sees (or hears) is NOT what the soldier gets." Eventually, Danny is faced with an even tougher battle... Coming back home to America. Editorial comments: "brings...to life in a compelling and wonderful way" "A no punches pulled look at Vietnam by a soldier in the rear." "...a powerful and moving story on many levels."

Danny Buoy is the pseudonym of a real soldier who served in the Vietnam War. Danny was born, reared, and educated in Omaha, Nebraska. In 1966, the only college graduate in a family of nine, Danny found himself without a draft deferment. He decided to enlist rather than wait for his draft notice, and one year later his home was a tent in South Vietnam. Quite to his surprise, he had become a Flight Operations Specialist for a U.S. Army Chinook Helicopter Company, a rather unusual job for a soldier who had trained for the Infantry. When Danny arrived home in Nebraska, he discovered a nation that was unwilling to acknowledge his service in the very war they had sent him to fight. Pachyderms, his first novel, is his attempt to show a side of the Vietnam war that few Americans have ever seen.
