The book chronicles the author's experiences as a US Army officer in the Vietnam war. Before beginning his tour of duty proper, Wolff spent a year in Washington, DC learning the Vietnamese language; prior to that he had been trained as a paratrooper. Wolff was stationed with South Vietnamese Army soldiers near My Tho and he was present during the Communists' Tet offensive. The memoir includes a recollection of that battle as well as vignettes of various personal experiences, both in and out of Vietnam.
