Called “everything a war memoir could possibly be” by The New York Times, this all-time classic of the military memoir genre now includes a new forward from bestselling author and retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink. Whether he was fifteen years old or forty, David Hackworth devoted his life to the US Army and quickly became a living legend. However, he appeared on TV in 1971 to decry the doomed war effort in Vietnam. From Korea to Berlin and the Cuban missile crisis to Vietnam, Hackworth’s story is that of an exemplary patriot, played against the backdrop of the changing fortunes of America and the US military. This memoir is the stunning indictment of the Pentagon’s fundamental misunderstanding of the Vietnam conflict and of the bureaucracy of self-interest that fueled the war. With About Face, Hackworth has written what many Vietnam veterans have called the most important book of their generation and presents a vivid and powerful portrait of patriotism.

This is a journey through memories spanning over sixty years, from childhood in Worcestershire to retirement in the Lake District. It is not a biography, just a journey. As in any journey, you do not see everything, but there are memories of the Second World War, moving to Scotland, returning to England, being called up for National Service in the Royal Navy, business ventures, visits to Australia, failed marriages, betrayal of a brother, illnesses one after the other, and the sadness of losing family you love. All of these result in childhood happiness, travels, laughter and sorrow, love and betrayal, and the frustration of illness. But of all, the family stands most important, for without them what would life be? They are the reason to carry on, it is an honour to be part of it.
