When Mike Sells was still in grade school he knew he wanted to be a paratrooper. He was 19 when he arrived in Vietnam and was 20 when he returned home. That year of tough action is what this book is all about. From the beginning of this book to the very end you will be led on a journey of combat action in the jungles, hills, mountains and rice paddies of the Central Highlands of Vietnam. Interwoven between combat you will hear stories of his early life from the time he first attempted jumping with a homemade parachute to the time he left home at age 15, to the time he entered the Army. Through all adversities, he's always lived by his motto of, "You Gotta Be Tough." 6 x 9, 153 pages, color photographs.
