Overview

Everyman in Vietnam is an accessible and multi-dimensional way to convey an understanding of the nature and enduring significance of the Vietnam conflict for students and a broader reading public. Its vivid, intimate, and accessible account of an ordinary American soldier in Vietnam offers a unique glimpse into the complexities and contradictions of the American intervention in Vietnam. The focus on an individual soldier - Jimmy Gilch - and the milieu from which he came, along with the novel use of his cache of letters written home, make this a unique contribution to the historical literature on the Vietnam War. The movement back and forth between the larger history of the war and the experiences of Jimmy Gilch fighting in a very particular place at a particular time will give readers a sense of the concrete nature of the war in Vietnam that is often absent in more general treatments
