Series: Vietnam Journal

"The acclaimed Vietnam Journal comic book series from Don Lomax, nominated for a Harvey Award, is collected and presented as a series of graphic novels.

Vietnam Journal is a look at the Vietnam War through the eyes of a war journalist, Scott 'Journal' Neithammer, as he chronicles the lives and events of soldiers on the front line during the Vietnam War. Creator Don Lomax based Vietnam Journal on his experiences on his tour of duty in Vietnam in the mid 1960's.

In BOOK SIX, war correspondent Scott 'Journal' Neithammer arrives in Khe Sanh at the beginning of the bloody siege. American troops are completely isolated and under constant bombardment from North Vietnamese troops for over two months as the First Air Cavalry struggles to arrive on the scene to reinforce the exhausted Marines. The siege is ultimately broken as North Vietnamese troops withdraw with heavy American reinforcements on the way. But the aftermath signals a shift in U.S. policy and the Khe Sanh base is closed and dismantled. And in a surprise move to the American troops, President Johnson announces a restriction in bombing of North Vietnam.

Aside from the Khe Sanh series, Book Six also includes two short stories titled ""Special Ops: Phoenix"" and ""Zippo Raid""."
