The Novel: A
National Book Award Finalist, The 13th Valley is a literary
cornerstone for the Vietnam Generation. The story follows an American infantry
unit on its spiraling descent into a world of conflict and darkness as it
maneuvers to find, fix and destroy an NVA basecamp deep in the jungled
mountains and valleys of I Corps.
Racing this
weekend in the 2016 Brickyard Vintage Racing Invitational, Frank Del Vecchio
has reincarnated his 1983 National Championship Formula Ford (see photo below)
to help publicize the audio edition release by Audible.com of brother John’s classic war novel.
