Transport yourself back to another time with Soldier's Story, the war memoir and book by Jim Akers of Mount Airy, North Carolina. Put yourself in the shoes of a young man from a small town in USA. Andy Griffith, having grown up in his hometown and neighborhood, found himself in the middle of the Vietnam War. Relive his experience as an American soldier in the years 1968 and 1969 with his account of his time spent in Vietnam.

The book begins with his experiences in training, in Ft. Bragg, Ft. Polk, and then Vietnam, taking you through his service in Hawaii and Fort Lewis.
