“I suppose many of us who served in Vietnam thought we would write a book about our experiences in that conflict,” writes William. “Certainly, I felt that way while serving as a rifle platoon leader with the 199th Light Infantry Brigade from 1969 to 1970. (Additional information on the 199th’s role in the war may be found in the index.) It’s only taken me fifty-plus years to finally do it. This book is meant to offer insights derived from combat situations blended with experiences from a thirty-five-year career in business with several building materials industry-segment leading US companies.
“The episodes or anecdotes aren’t meant to have deep meanings. In fact, I intend for these writings to offer simple advice that may prove useful to those who are beginning work careers or those who may be frustrated by events ongoing in their work’s journey. Mostly, though, it is my desire to share the experiences of trying to lead and survive during my months on the ground in Vietnam.”
