It's a fascinating story, I have the book 'Derailed in Uncle Ho's Victory Garden' by Tim Page which also delves into the mystery - a must read !

Ah, have not read that but sounds good! I'd also like to get hold of 'Tim Page's Nam'.

Interesting tale. Tim Page's memoir Page after Page is a great read.

I can imagine. I'm currently reading 'The Quiet American' by Graham Greene, which really seems to set the scene for what came a decade or so later.

And the co-writer of the screenplay for 'Full Metal Jacket' was Michael Herr, who wrote 'Dispatches' and was a good friend of Dana Stone in Vietnam. Full circle!

Have to wonder if either of them had second thoughts on that short drive towards the enemy.
