About this ebook

The mini-series "Valley of Death" continues the acclaimed and awarding Vietnam Journal comic book saga. We are taken to the A Shau Valley near the Laotian border where creator, writer, and artist Don Lomax continues to chronicle an embedded journalist's eye-opening experiences of the events during the Vietnam War. Here the United States military decides to launch an offensive into the valley. This has been a long time staging area that the Viet Cong have used for years to send men and supplies into South Vietnam from the enemy¡¯s sanctuary in Laos. Meanwhile 'Journal' becomes fascinated with the story of a prisoner of war who belonged to a small tribe that has lived in the A Shau Valley for centuries. They have no sense of country, politics or idealogy, only for their local people, but they are dragged anyhow into a war they couldn¡¯t even comprehend. The Vietnam Journal series has drawn raves and recommendations from Military Book Club, Entertainment Weekly, Library School Journal, and Publishers Weekly. Collects issues 1-4.
