    About this ebook

    These war poems are based on my experiences during the 1972 Easter Invasion of Vietnam. I was a medic and aircrewman working for MACVSOG and the CIA. These included providing support during the battle of An Loc, the largest set piece battle of the entire war. My focus is on the human aspects of war and their effects on individuals.

    Mike Essig

    I have been a soldier, technical salesman and English professor. I was born in 1951 and am a proud son of the sixties. I read, write, meditate, practice Kung Fu. I am an anarchist and a minimalist. I live in Mechanicsburg, PA with a schizophrenic cat named Evan Williams. I have two great boys who are grown and live nearby. My goals are to write more books, drink more whiskey and achieve enlightenment soon. Hope you enjoy my books. If so, please write reviews. Feel free to contact me at bookgardener@gmail.com.
