Beschreibungen
<p><br> A shy, immature, reluctant young soldier finds himself on a darkened jet, making his descent onto an airfield in Vietnam.<br> <br> What Larry Long didn’t realize, however, was that he was also descending into a hole of pot, booze, and pills—one that would take him years to escape.<br> In this memoir, he looks back at his army service, beginning with the worst eight weeks of his life: basic training. During that time, he didn’t make any friends or gain any self-confidence. All he did was long for home.<br> Having received his draft notice, he was on that plane because he had to be—it was not about fighting communism or fighting for freedom.<br> After experiencing the hell of war, he returned home and made friends with a co-worker who turned him on to something called amphetamines. The only problem was they prevented him from sleeping, but smoking marijuana solved the problem.<br> Join the author as he recalls the evils of war and how the Lord transformed him from being someone whose body took him where he didn’t want to go to a man whose spirit takes his body to where it is happy to go.</p>
While descending onto a Vietnam airfield, Larry Long didn’t realize he was also descending into a hole of pot, booze and pills.
