About this product
Product Information
In their stunning follow-up to the classic bestseller We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young , Lt. Gen. Hal Moore and Joe Galloway return to Vietnam and reflect on how the war changed them, their men, their enemies, and both countries--often with surprising results. More than fifteen years since its original publication, the number one New York Times bestseller We Were Soldiers Once . . . and Young is still required reading in all branches of the military. Now Moore and Galloway revisit their relationships with ten American veterans of the battle--men such as Sgt. Maj. Basil Plumley and helicopter pilot Bruce "Old Snake" Crandall--as well as Lt. Gen. Nguyen Hu An, who commanded the North Vietnamese Army troops on the other side, and two of his old company commanders. These men and their countries have all changed dramatically since the first head-on collision between the two great armies back in November 1965. Traveling back to the red-dirt battlefields, commanders and veterans from both sides make the long and difficult journey from old enemies to new friends. After a trip in a Russian-made helicopter to the Ia Drang Valley in the Central Highlands, with the Vietnamese pilots using Moore's vintage U.S. Army maps and Galloway's Boy Scout compass to guide them, they reach the hallowed ground where so many died. All the men are astonished at how nature has reclaimed the land once scarred by bullets, napalm, and blood. As darkness falls, the unthinkable happens--the authors and many of their old comrades are stranded overnight, alone, left to confront the ghosts of the departed among the termite hills and creek bed. Moore and Galloway combine gritty and vivid detail with reverence and respect for their comrades. Their ability to capture man's sense of heroism and brotherhood, their love for their men and their former enemies, and their fascination with the history of this enigmatic country make for riveting reading. With sixteen pages of photos, tributes to departed friends and loved ones, and General Moore's reflections on lessons learned throughout his military career, We Are Soldiers Still puts a human face on warfare in a way that will not soon be forgotten.

Reviews
"It would be a monumental task for Moore and Galloway to top their classic 1992 memoir, We Were Soldiers Once...and Young. But they come close in this sterling sequel...This book proves again that Moore is an exceptionally thoughtful, compassionate and courageous leader and a strong voice for reconciliation and for honoring the men with whom he served." -- Publishers Weekly(starred review) "An emotional follow-up to military lifer Moore and reporter Galloway's intense 1992 telling of the Vietnam War's first major battle between American and North Vietnamese troops. This time, the two, along with other American survivors of the fight, revisit the Ia Drang valley, scene of the bloody 1965 battle--accompanied by the Communist commanders and soldiers who were trying to kill them." -- New York Post "A worthy and wise successor to one of the best books ever about combat in Vietnam." -- Kirkus Reviews "We Are Soldiers Still tells the recent story of how Moore and Galloway organized meetings with the Vietnamese commanders they'd fought against so fiercely. . . . There is honor and a measure of military glory in the retelling and in the reunion." -- Christian Science Monitor "Bookstores are filled with rows of books on leadership and management, but We Are Soldiers Still stands over the rest. Words like riveting and compelling hardly do the book justice...Moore's reflections on leadership alone make this book worth its purchase price...Moore and Galloway's latest volume is a moving tribute to the American soldier." -- Army magazine "A moving testimonial. . . .The memoir poignantly addresses the blindness of war and the compensatory urgings of the heart to be human." -- Rocky Mountain News, It would be a monumental task for Moore and Galloway to top their classic 1992 memoir, We Were Soldiers Once...and Young. But they come close in this sterling sequel...This book proves again that Moore is an exceptionally thoughtful, compassionate and courageous leader and a strong voice for reconciliation and for honoring the men with whom he served.
