In Years Later About Vietnam, author Ron Fazio recounts the gripping, personal journey that began in January 1970 when he faced a life-altering decision: serve in a controversial war, flee the country, or risk imprisonment for resisting the draft. Choosing to serve, Fazio transformed from a young novice into a skilled marksman and mortarman, thrust into the heart of the Vietnam War. Amid the chaos and complexity of combat, he recorded his experiences in a candid personal journal, capturing the raw truths of what came to be known as “America’s TV War.”

As the conflict wore on, Fazio’s adaptability saw him take on multiple roles, from frontline soldier to headquarters clerk. In the final phase of the war, he played a unique part in the historic U.S. troop withdrawals, writing the very orders that helped bring his fellow soldiers home. Years Later About Vietnam is a powerful story of resilience, transformation, and the unexpected ways one soldier’s duty helped shape the conclusion of a turbulent era. Through Fazio’s honest and intimate lens, readers gain a rare, ground-level perspective on one of the most defining moments in American history.
