Killing Charlie

After years spent honoring the stories of World War II veterans, and hearing their stories, Andrew Biggio, acclaimed author of The Rifle, turned his attention to the men who fought in the jungles, mountains, and villages of Vietnam War.Armed with the same determination to preserve history before it disappears, he traveled across the country to meet with Vietnam veterans from every branch of service to have them sign the rifle and hear their stories. As veterans shared their experiences, many for the first time, Biggio uncovered not only stories of combat, but stories of resilience, sacrifice, guilt, brotherhood, and survival.Killing Charlie: A Vietnam War Saga captures the raw humanity of the Vietnam veteran experience through firsthand accounts that are gripping, heartbreaking, and unforgettable. Through these interviews, Biggio bridges generations of warriors, exploring the lasting cost of war and the bonds forged between those who have carried its burden and shows the experience of the Vietnam War like it has never been seen before. At its core, Killing Charlie is a tribute to the men who fought in Vietnam, a mission to preserve their voices before they are lost to history, and a reminder that every veteran carries a story worth telling.
