Overview

In The Other Vietnam War: A Helicopter Pilot's Life in Vietnam, Marc Cullison confronted the war that followed him home-the moral weight, the unanswered questions, and the memories that refused to fade. In Vietnam Again, he takes the next step: returning to the country itself. Decades after flying combat missions as a U.S. Army helicopter pilot, Cullison travels back to Vietnam to walk the ground once seen only from the air. What he finds is not the battlefield of memory, but a nation transformed-alive with movement, resilience, and quiet grace. As past and present collide, Cullison reflects on how time reshapes trauma, how memory evolves, and how reconciliation can finally begin. Written with the same clarity, humility, and emotional restraint that define The Other Vietnam War, this book deepens Cullison's exploration of what it means to live with war long after it ends. His reflections move beyond combat into the enduring human cost-on veterans, families, and identity itself. Vietnam Again is both a continuation and a homecoming: a companion volume that completes a powerful reckoning with war, memory, and the long road toward understanding.

Reviews

""Strap in -- war from a chopper pilot's point of view!"" In 1971, I was a college kid trying to pick a major so I could graduate. Marc Cullison was first lieutenant flying helicopters over the dense and dangerous jungles of Vietnam. The Other Vietnam brings to the reader the smells, sounds and dangers of that life-changing experience. It's the details that matter: the MPCs, the hooch girls, rats in bed, the missions and the dangers of war. This is a well-told story of coming of age in the worst possible place to do it. - Michael Stephen Daigle, Author of the Frank Nagler Mystery Series ""An incredibly honest book."" I could identify with many of his thoughts and experiences. He treated them honestly and allowed the reader into his mind and his soul. His is an incredibly honest book that I highly recommend! - Jack S., Amazon Reader ""A Must Read!"" It is refreshing to read an account that holds nothing back and does not sugar coat or sanitize. Mr. Cullison tells it like it is. This veteran is very grateful! - Linda Whaley, U.S. Veteran ""This truly is the other Vietnam War."" This is one of the best Nam books that I've read! It as if Marc was putting my thoughts down. I was not a pilot, but he hit every other issue square, during, before and after the war. Language, thoughts and action were all right there. - Amazon Reader
