In 1969, nineteen-year-old Nolan Pepperdine was drafted into a war he didn't understand and a country that was falling apart. From his small town in Northern California to the jungles and firebases of Vietnam, this is the raw, unfiltered account of a young man thrown into the heart of one of America's most controversial conflicts.
With gritty honesty and unforgettable detail, Nolan takes you inside boot camp, the long road to war, and the chaos of combat. He writes about the men he served with, the friends he lost, the moments that made him laugh, and the ones that changed him forever.
Running from War - Vietnam is more than a war story. It's the story of growing up too fast, of loyalty forged in the worst conditions, and of finding a way home when the war-and the country-never felt the same again.
