Code Warriors A Year in Vietnam

William Wood2018
With the Vietnam war raging and protests mounting at home, Josh Hudson, a veteran communications analyst is ordered to Viet Nam to head up the analysis team at a small unit flying out of Pleiku. Before leaving the States he meets Jenny Appleton, active in the anti-war movement. As Hudson assumes his duties he slowly finds his dedication and principles challenged by the terrible losses and the seemingly endless nature of the war. Although convinced their analysis is correct, the callous disregard for the truth frustrates the men of his unit. When, after long months their analysis is proved correct - others take credit to cover their own failures. Through his correspondence with Jenny and a witness to the callous disregard for truth, reality and the lives of the men engaging the enemy he finds he must decide between the future he had planned before the war and the challenge of drastic change. This is the story of men who did their duty proudly and made the most of their opportunities within the confines of war. With their work classified Top Secret, they knew they could never reveal the whole truth.
