Inhaltsangabe

Vic Mills SNAFU takes readers on a tour in Vietnam through the eyes of a young military police office, or M.P. Daily life at war is exposed in its subtlety and its brutality. M.P.s discover that corruption within the U.S. military could be as dangerous as any other enemy and just as necessary to engage and fight. Mills candid recounting of dealing with soldiers under fire, while facing vindictive officers fearful of exposure, provides a compelling look behind the lines.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Author Vic Mills is a California native. Born in 1942 in Los Angeles, he spent his formative years in Santa Cruz. However, he spent much of his adult life in the Pacific Northwest. In 1966, he moved to the Seattle area and worked for the city’s transit system prior to his induction into the Army.

It was from the Pacific Coast that Vic headed for Vietnam and his tour of duty as a military police officer, or M.P. His experiences there are chronicled in SNAFU, including confrontations with corrupt factions of our own military forces. His questioning of authority landed him a quick trip to the "hot zones" of that conflict.

The friendships forged there, as well as his ability to work with soldiers under fire, provided the framework for his narration of the daily grind of the M.P.

Upon his release from the military, Mills returned to the Seattle area where he makes his home. In 1984, he started a vehicle consulting firm and enjoys steering its continued success. Vic writes and occasionally performs his own music and he has a built-in audience: his three children and, at last count, seven grandchildren.
