Product Information
In 1968 William Hardwick volunteered to go to Vietnam as an officer in the marines. A month into his tour, Hardwick's company had taken significant casualties and was fighting a seemingly invisible but omnipresent enemy in the hills of Vietnam. Down South is the story of how he and his fellow Marines survived their first thirteen-month tour. In December, 1966, William Hardwick was a senior at the University of Oklahoma when he signed up for Marine Corps Officer Candidates School, in the hopes of serving in Vietnam. The war was still relatively small. By December 1968, when Hardwick landed in Da Nang to begin his thirteen-month tour in country, the conflict had escalated to unexpectedly violent heights, with five hundred American soldiers killed every week. Assigned as the FO (forward obserber) to Mike Company in support of 3d Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment,Product Identifiers

Author BiographyHardwick's job was to provide artillery support for his infantry company. He was not out of the line of fire, however. His company lost ten men in as many minutes during their firefight, and, though Hardwick was deep-down-in-my-bones scared, he vowed to survive the war moment-to-moment. Down South is the story of his thirteen-month survival, of fighting up and down the hills and valleys of Vietnam against the hardened, invisible Viet Cong.
