It was late 1968, the apex of the conflict in Vietnam. Hundreds of American soldiers were being killed every week in that war ravaged country. Rocky Olson, a newly trained and indoctrinated American infantryman, was sent as a combat replacement into that maelstrom of politics, suffering, and death. He was given an “experienced” M-16, and was provided with endless opportunities to force “Sir Charles” to give his last full measure of devotion to the communist cause.
Rocky's new book SGT. ROCK: LAST WARRIOR STANDING is a truly great recounting of his infantry existence in South Vietnam. And he has an amazing story to tell. Assigned to the famous 101st Airborne Division, Rocky's All-American life was about to undergo a major overhaul.
Now, the book that so many have asked him to write is here. With your copy in hand you'll need to find a soft chair, with refreshments nearby, for as you begin to read this story you may find yourself unwilling to go anywhere soon.
This true, amazing, first-hand account of that brutal war has already touched thousands of listeners. Rocky's hope is that all veterans of the Vietnam War will remember with pride their service to the United States of America. To war’s uninitiated, it was his intention to entertain while educating at the same time. I hope it works for you.
