David Christian is "Real Hero". The book cover has recommendations by Senator John Kerry, Jan Scruggs, and Former Secretary of State Alexander Haig. I met David Christian and his wife in 1994 on a cruise to China (he was the celebrity guest lecturer) and a return trip to Viet Nam. He is a real person and I enjoyed the book and many conversations with David and his wife Peggy. Ralph Morehead
The real deal
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I had not read this book unitl I was lucky enough to meet Mr. Christian. I did not know of him until kids in class started talking about what he was known for. I am from a military family and I am around military people a lot, so I am used to how they are. As I said I knew nothing about him, but when he began to talk I was amazed at his life experiences. If one were to only look at a picture of him with his metals one would see that he lived a lifetime of memories, both good and bad, during his tours of Vietnam. It seems that Mr. Christian has lived a fascinating life and to hear and read about it is amazing. His life sounds almost unreal, but he was really apart of some of the most influential events that have taken place in the last 50 years. Not only was it a pleasure to read this book I felt honored as an American because this world does not have many heroes like Mr. Christian, but maybe the world would be a better place if his dedication and courage were more prevalent in others.
One of the best books, on a horrible mitake of a war.

David Christian is one of Americas Greatest War heros. He exemptlifies all the charecteristics of a hero. He is extremly couragous, calling in artillry on top of his position. And this is a very excellent book on a very couragous and heroic man.
