Aprašymas

The final chapter of the original Vietnam Journal series is concluded in this collection of the original Apple Comic series. The Battle of Khe Sanh was a bloody siege as American troops were isolated and under constant bombardment for over two months before the siege was finally broken. Also included in this collection is the story of High Shining Brass, the follow up to the original Vietnam Journal series. High Shining Brass is a four-issue limited series that tells the actual story of a soldier named Robert Durand who fought in the Vietnam conflict. Durand was a member of a black-ops team, code-named "Shining Brass." This series depicts the horrific atrocities witnessed and performed by the once naive special forces member as he attempts to perform his duties and understand the true meaning behind the madness. Recommended by The Military Book Club and tabbed a "graphic novel you should own" by Entertainment Weekly, the Vietnam Journal series has proven to be both a fan and critical hit. "A powerful collection of stories and history of the Vietnam War." - School Library Journal. "Lomax bases his fictional work on his real experiences in Vietnam in 1966, with powerful results. It is Lomax's concern for average soldiers that, in the end, makes his work significant." - Publishers Weekly. "This is, without a doubt, the most graphic, realistic and emotionally powerful portrayal of the Vietnam War that's ever been seen in comic form." - Jason E. Aaron, Wizard's 2008 Best Writer.
