While "The Nha Trang Letters" is the story of a soldier who was stationed on an army airbase in the Central Highlands of South Vietnam, it is not that different in some experiences and quite the same in many others to those of the hundreds of thousands of young men who were drafted into a war not of their choosing and sent to fight half a world away.
