Circle of Helmets is a glimpse into the inner core of a young soldier at war and how it has changed him over the years---a coming of age odyssey, from ingenuous soldier to hardened veteran. Told through battlefield accounts written by the young soldier just hours after actual combat, coupled with intense poems about that combat experience from the same man, some thirty years later, it is a story you will not forget. "Riveting, poignant and full of incredible accounts and insights, this book brings the experience of the Vietnam War to life in a way that is absolutely unforgettable. I cannot recommend it enough." Andrew Carroll, editor of War Letters: Extraordinary Correspondence from American Wars. "A searingly personal anthology . . . an important contribution to our understanding of the war and those who fought it." Rick Atkinson, author of The Liberation Trilogy.
