Soldier's candid journey from valor to dissent.

"About Face" is an unflinchingly honest look into the life of a valorous soldier who grows increasingly critical of the military establishment he once wholeheartedly served. If you're intrigued by complex real-life characters whose experiences challenge their beliefs, Hackworth's story will offer you an intense dive into personal transformation set against the tumultuous backdrop of war. It's a hefty read, but for those fascinated by military history and personal memoirs, it promises a compelling and thought-provoking experience.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Called “everything a twentieth century war memoir could possibly be” by The New York Times, this national bestseller by Colonel David H. Hackworth presents a vivid and powerful portrait of a life of patriotism.From age fifteen to forty David Hackworth devoted himself to the US Army and fast became a living legend. In 1971, however, he appeared on television to decry the doomed war effort in Vietnam. With About Face, he has written what many Vietnam veterans have called the most important book of their generation.From Korea to Berlin, from the Cuban missile crisis to Vietnam, Hackworth’s story is that of an exemplary patriot, played out against the backdrop of the changing fortunes of America and the American military. It is also a stunning indictment of the Pentagon’s fundamental misunderstanding of the Vietnam conflict and of the bureaucracy of self-interest that fueled the war.
