Tom Williams fought the enemy, every day, without fail, he would record the day’s events in his diary. It is these diaries (which Tom has to this day), that enables him to tell the story of Vietnam in the late sixties/early seventies like it really was.
John Brooker is a remarkable Australian veteran who shared his journey from the streets of Sydney, Australia to the battlefields of Vietnam.Listen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyListen on Amazon MusicListen on Podcast AddictBecome a Patron!
I talk with Tom about his book “Doorsteps of Hell” where he offers an honest, unembellished account of a new officer in the US Marines – fighting and surviving in the mud-sucking rice paddies and leech-infested jungles of Vietnam.
In my conversation Tom brings to life the camaraderie, leadership, and the very essence of military expertise.
Tom’s book is available at heartofamarineseries.com .
