Written by distinguished war correspondent and New York Times bestselling author Joseph L. Galloway and Vietnam veteran and award-winning author Marvin J. Wolf, the book reveals the private lives of these veterans and their extraordinary contributions to science, medicine, business, and other fields, transforming America for the better. For decades, Vietnam veterans were shunned by the American public and ignored by their government, often vilified or having their struggles to reintegrate into society magnified by distorted depictions of veterans as dangerous or demented. Even today, Vietnam veterans have not received their due. Until now. These profiles are touching, courageous, and often startling, including veterans both known and unknown, such as Frederick Wallace \"Fred\" Smith, CEO and founder of FedEx, Marshall Carter, chairman of the New York Stock Exchange, Justice Eileen Moore, appellate judge who also serves as a mentor in California's Combat Veterans Court, Richard Armitage, former deputy secretary of state under Colin Powell, and Guion \"Guy\" Bluford Jr., the first African American in space. Engrossing, moving, and eye-opening, They Were Soldiers is a magnificent tribute that gives long overdue honor and recognition to the soldiers of this forgotten generation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 376g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 x 24 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781400208838\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joseph L.
