Vietnam Combat: Firefights and Writing History

A Veterans Day Author Visit

In honor of Veterans Day, join veteran and author Robin Bartlett as he discusses his novel, "Vietnam Combat: Firefights and Writing History", a first-hand account of his experiences during wartime.

Robin Bartlett takes you back 50 years to a "boots on the ground" account of his extraordinary combat experiences as a 22-year-old 1st Lieutenant with the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). As a combat infantry platoon leader, he deployed a 32-man platoon on search and destroy missions and helicopter assaults into hot landing zones at the height of the Vietnam War.

More than 55 years after the Vietnam War, Bartlett’s vivid combat experiences are brought to light in a fast-moving, first person narrative expressing the horror, fear, anguish, and sometimes illogical humor of the war. He addresses the long-term impact, both positive and negative, on his home life and business career with insights about leadership, courage, PTSD, and life lessons learned. These are stories that will stay with you long past the end of his presentation.
