We Live Together Under The Thick Canopy, Each Searching For The Other; The Same Leeches And Mosquitoes That Feed On Our Blood Feed On His Blood.' John Edmund Delezen Felt A Kinship With The People He Was Instructed To Kill In Vietnam; They Were All At The Mercy Of The Land. His Memoir Begins When He Enlisted In The Marine Corps And Was Sent To Vietnam In March Of 1967. He Volunteered For The Third Force Recon Company, Whose Job It Was To Locate And Infiltrate Enemy Lines Undetected And Map Their Locations And Learn Details Of Their Status.

He Remained In Vietnam Until December, 1968.Delezen Writes Of Vietnam As A Man Humbled By A Mysterious Country And Horrified By Acts Of Brutality.

He Recalls Stumbling Onto A Pit Of Rotting Vietnamese Bodies Left Behind By American Forces, And Days When Fierce Hunger Made A Bag Of Plasma Seem Like An Enticing Meal. He Writes Of His Fallen Comrades And The Images Of War That Still Pervade His Dreams.This Book Contains Many Photographs Of American Marines And Vietnam As Well As Three Maps.
