Trouble on the Grand Canal

1970 Vietnam. Warfare with no rules, little protection and many enemies. It wasn’t the battles that wore you down, it was the expectation that the next moment could be your last memory. Fear, fatigue and heat was as great an enemy as the insurgents. Mix into this the giant chess game being played by strategists in far away places as they plan your missions. What appears real may not be and what appears easy may take an unexpected turn. This is the true story of one day experienced by one sailor in the backwaters of the Mekong Delta of Vietnam. A 24 hour period where the enemy threat is not so much the physical as it is the mental, where reality appears more of a game. A dangerous game repeated day after day where no one knows the rules but the outcome is very real.
