The Viet Nam war is all but over, and the American troops are lookingforward to coming home and getting on with their lives. But someoneapparently forgot to tell General Rush. Incensed that his governmenthas given up, hes determined to mount one more operation, if just tosalvage a bit of national honor and personal pride. THE GENERALS WAR takes a comic and irreverent look at the kind of military thinking that gets us into wars in the first place and keeps us there long after we should be gone. Must reading for history buffs and concerned citizens.

David Hall was a student at North Texas State University in 1966 when he volunteered for the army and for Viet Nam, where he served during 1968 and 1969 as an artillery forward observer with the Ninth Infantry. He received the Purple Heart for (minor) wounds suffered in combat, the Bronze Star with “V” for Valor, and the Air Medal for flying around the delta country south of Saigon in door-less helicopters. A native of Texas, he now lives in Colorado and thinks often of his experiences in that frustrating war and ponders what, if anything, it all meant.
