Images from the Otherland: Memoir of a United States Marine Corps Artillery Officer in Vietnam

Sympson records his experiences in America's most unpopular war. As an Artillery officer with the 2nd Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment (known more commonly as "the Magnificent Bastards"), he participated in Operation Starlite, the first major U.S. action in the war, and Operation Texas, one of the bloodiest battles of the entire conflict. Included is a discussion of how his experiences in Vietnam still affect him 30 years later.
