Vietnam Earased: A soldier's battle with war, missing memories, mind control, and government secrets. (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798255367894)

Vietnam Erased is the story of a Vietnam veteran whose war was not only fought in the jungles and on convoys-but inside his own mind.

As a young Military Police soldier, he landed in Vietnam with a guitar in one hand and an M-60 in the other. From a happy childhood in Missouri to the Hollywood Bowl, then straight into LZ Baldy and Chu Lai, he discovered uncanny combat skills that far exceeded the rushed training he remembered. Missions blurred. Key moments vanished. Photos proved he'd led deadly convoys he could no longer recall. Friends, like the soldier nicknamed Frenchy, later swore they had never even met him.

When his musical talent pulled him into Command Military Touring Shows and the AFVN entertainment world in Saigon, it felt like a miracle escape-performing across Vietnam, directing shows, and fronting a trio at legendary venues like The Queen Bee. But the farther he moved from the front, the stranger the patterns became: missing time, repeated close calls, men in black who appeared at his shows, and conversations about programs with names like MKULTRA, Montauk, Blue Book, and mind control.

Vietnam Erased weaves battlefield memory, erased missions, and post-war research into a gripping memoir that asks unsettling questions:
What if some soldiers weren't just trained-but programmed?
What if parts of a life could be cut out like frames from a reel?

Part Vietnam War memoir, part psychological mystery, and part government-conspiracy investigation, this book takes you from dusty landing zones to Saigon nightclubs, from brotherhood and music to paranoia and missing memories. In the end, Vietnam Erased is the journey of one man determined to reclaim his past-and to find out whether his lost war stories were stolen by trauma, by design, or by something far more disturbing.
