Behind the Wire is a story about the other side of the Vietnam War. It takes place at the beginning of the end of the United States' involvement in Vietnam, from May 1970 to May 1971. Unlike many of the combat stories coming out of this war, this is a story about life in the rear, life behind the wire, and the 365 day experience that was shared by hundreds of thousands of soldiers who went to Vietnam but never saw combat. It's a story about the large subculture of anti-war/anti-establishment troops that served there, and how they lived and experienced their "year in the Nam." It's a story about drugs, sex, rock & roll, insubordination, fraggings, and the incredible lifestyle that evolved in every rank of the military over the ten year course of the war. And it's a story about an Army that knew it was losing, not only the war, but also the confidence and support of its troops. Just as protesters back home were changing the country's view and support for the war, so too were many of the troops in Vietnam protesting the war in their own right. This is a real REMF (rear-echelon m--f--) story, as told by a U.S. Army journalist who spent his year in the Nam at the start of the wind-down period of that tragic war.

Jim Stoup is a talented professional writer who captures the essence of life "Behind the Wire" in places like Cu Chi, Long Binh and Bien Hoa. I totally connected with his stories of the camaraderie shared between fellow troops "supporting" a war seen as a lost cause in the "drawdown years" of 1970 & 1971. Stoup made me laugh and made me cry, brilliantly weaving stories of these bizarre days and bringing many poignant moments back to life. This is a MUST read for anyone who served in the rear in Nam or knows someone who served.

A great book for the REMF's in NAM By Dennis Houser If you happened to be one of the many unfortunate individuals who wound up in the Republic of South Vietnam (more eloquently referred to as "the Nam" by those who were stationed there - LOL) AND especially served in the rear (i.e., not in actual combat) - then this is a must read for you. It will definitely bring back many memories as it did for me. John does an excellent job of recalling many of the experiences of that time that I'm sure are familiar to us all who were there - not to mention the feeling of not feeling very welcome on our return home (much unlike the hero's welcome our troops now receive upon returning from an overseas assignment). It is one of those books that I really hated to see have an ending - it is that enjoyable.

As a writer, I was anxious to read his book. It didn't disappoint.Jim draws readers inside his mind, sharing his initial fears, his relief at being posted to the rear, and his countdown to his trip home. The time between, his bizarre year in "the Nam," as he calls it, passes with drugs, sex, roll and roll, and the disrespect of all things military, in the tradition of MASH, one of my all-time favorite TV shows. He weaves into his story a good taste of how America was feeling in 1970-71 as more and more people began to wonder just why we were in Vietnam.Despite its topic, the book is an easy read that leaves the reader feeling like a confidant and a friend.To my mind, the mark of a good book is a reader's reluctance for it to end. When I turned the last page of "Behind the Wire," I was still hungry. I'll be looking for more from this former classmate.
