 | MASTERS OF THE ART A Fight Marine's Memoir of Vietnam Ronald E. Winter Presidio Press January 2006 Military nonfiction Mass-market original

| In 1968, US Marine Ronald Winter flew 300 of the toughest missions of the Vietnam War, from the DMZ grasslands to the jungles near Laos and the deadly A Shau Valley, where the NVA lurked. Whether landing in the midst of hidden enemy troops or rescuing the wounded during blazing firefights, the work of helicopter crews was always dangerous. But the men in the machines never complained; they knew they had it easy compared to their brothers on the ground. MASTERS OF THE ART is a bare-knuckles tribute to the marines who served in Vietnam. It's about courage, sacrifice, and unsung heroism. The men who fought alongside Winter in that jungle hell were US Marines, warriors who did their job and remained true to their country, no matter the cost. | | "In MASTERS OF THE ART, Ronald E. Winter tells the story of how, in the 1960s, he believed 'Vietnam was calling.' Winter answered the call and learned that being a marine, and a man, is as much a matter of heart and mind as it is a matter of physical strength. As a Vietnam veteran, I am certain that those who did not serve in that distant land will learn a great deal about the personal journey of those who did. This is more than a war story. It is about maturing and learning the importance of having the courage to change the things you can control and about accepting the things you cannot change with dignity and honor."—Congressman Rob Simmons, R-2nd District, CT |
