13 Moons Over Vietnam: 13th Moon ~ Anticipation

By: Ben Thieu Long

Military Police serving in the Vietnam War faced danger and challenges from not only the Viet Cong but also from an unexpected enemy. 13 Moons: Anticipation reveals the inner war encountered by one policeman and the moral and emotional turmoil because of his responses. Ben Thieu Long struggled with intense, conflicted emotions in the final month of his tour. Anxiously anticipating his return home, he reacted erratically to threats to his safety. When he crossed the line, his actions left him with a weight of rage and guilt that he would carry long after his tour ended.

13 Moons over Vietnam—1St Moon: Innocence

By: Ben Thieu Long

13 Moons over Vietnam—1st Moon: Innocence Why another memoir on Vietnam? There are already hundreds of publications on the Vietnam War. 13 Moons over Vietnam captures a unique perspective of a soldier’s experience of war, juxtaposing more than 150 stories between the lines of 280 uncensored letters to his wife, who was pregnant with their first child. These stories, describing actual experiences, are conveyed with raw emotions of anxiety and fear, refuting the nonchalant tone of his correspondence home. The effect is a stark and unsettling contrast between what is written home and what actually happens. 13 Moons over Vietnam is organized as a series segmented by lunar cycles that symbolize the author’s struggles with identity and faith as he confronts progressive incidents of social and emotional violence. Begin with 1st Moon: Innocence, and witness a metamorphosis that spirals through a moral and spiritual minefield.

13 Moons over Vietnam: 3Rd Moon ~ Discord

By: Ben Thieu Long

This book is the third volume in a memoir series describing a military policeman’s moral and emotional dilemmas in the Vietnam war. Stories of actual experience are positioned sequentially among actual letters sent home to his new wife. He tries to censor his daily experiences in the letters in an effort to protect their relationship from the contradictions of his behavior and progressively disturbed thoughts.The soldier’s responses to temptation trigger an inner battle over values, identity, and spiritual well-being. His actions and subsequent turmoil prompt a transformation from naïve innocence toward alienated detachment. 3rd Moon: Discord highlights his responses to temptation that challenge his moral convictions. His journey through a minefield of ethical trials undercuts his strength of commitment and precipitates a metamorphosis of mind and spirit.

13 Moons Over Vietnam: 12th Moon ~ Volatile

By: Ben Thieu Long

Military Police are typically hard-core and very disciplined. However, after nearly a year in Vietnam, even the most dedicated began to show signs of wavering. Follow one soldier's experience down the rabbit hole of war. Another argument over the war. We see more conflict in the hooch lately than outside the wire. “I’m with Luke,” Sergeant Kaminsky declared. John insisted, “This isn’t your fight.” The Sergeant stepped closer. “People like you are undermining our government.” “I don’t believe that ‘my country right or wrong’ crap!” Tucker scoffed. “Anybody in uniform who doesn’t support this war is a traitor. You’re worse than those anti-war assholes back home,” the Sergeant countered. “It’s a free country. I have the right to free speech." “You don’t have any rights. You follow orders – period!” the Sergeant bellowed. “You’re lucky that bullshit letter from the commie-loving Senator hasn’t been ripped up, Ben,” Luke interjected. Ben cringed. “That's private. It’s inside my footlocker.” Sergeant Kaminski pointed. “THAT isn’t private property. It belongs to the U.S. Government.” “Well, I still have the right to my opinion.” "Only if you keep it to yourself. We don’t want to hear it!”
