Sobre IBD

When young Buck Marino first meets Rolley Zwyrkowski, he little realizes how much their next year together in Vietnam will change his life forever. The months following the 1968 Tet Offensive and the battles of the 101st Airborne between Hue and Phu Bai, and westward into the A Shau Valley, provide the backdrop for a story about boys becoming men in a paradoxical war. And when he meets Army nurse Janie Jorgensen, Buck believes he has found true love only to discover that the war has left his heart and soul lost in a futureless void. Valley of The Purple Hearts follows the men of 2nd Squad through the shadowy jungles and mountains of I-Corps as they fight main force Viet Cong and NVA regulars. With constant enemy contact, booby-traps, sniper fire and all-out firefights, Buck and his buddies follow their squad leader, Rolley, who puts the lives of his men first. When the young sergeant sacrifices his safety for that of his men, Buck must step up in the heat of battle.
