Amazon.com description: Product Description: A boy discovers the complexities of conflict in this fast-paced and thoughtful look at the Vietnam War from the acclaimed author of Soldier Boys and Missing in Action.
Rick Ward wants to go to war.
And heâs not sure why. Maybe heâs running from his dad and his crazy temper. Maybe heâs running from his girl, who seems to think heâs more of a joke than a man. Or maybe heâs just runningâto find himself.
After basic training, Rick enlists with the Charlie Rangers, a special unit that ambushes the enemy in secret jungle raids. It is the most dangerous front line duty, and Rickâs six-man team will experience everything from horrifying enemy encounters to mourning the death of a comrade.
Rick will discover that no oneânot protestors, politicians, or writersâhas got a clue. And he will see that war is far bigger, scarier, and more complicated than anything he ever could have imagined.
