has served as a literary cornerstone for the Vietnam generation
The 13th Valley follows
the terrifying Vietnam combat experiences of James Chelini, a telephone-systems
installer who finds himself an infantryman in the NVA-infested mountains of I
Corps. Spiraling deeper and deeper into a world of conflict and darkness, this
harrowing account of Chelini’s plunge and immersion into jungle warfare traces
his evolution from semi-pacifist to all-out, combat-crazed soldier. The seminal
novel on the Vietnam experience, The 13th Valley is
a classic that illuminates the war in Southeast Asia like no other book. It is
the first title in Del Vecchio’s Vietnam War trilogy, which also includes For the Sake of All Living Things, about
the Cambodian holocaust, and Carry Me
Home, which addresses the aftermath of war.
