Hot Mics and TV Lights: The American Forces Vietnam Network  NOW AVAILABLE 


I invite Old Asia Hands to explore my new book, written with lead author Mark Yablonka. This is truly a comprehensive summary of the wartime radio/TV service for the vast audience in South Vietnam. Veterans, Vietnamese and pleasure readers will all find this a fascinating addition to your Vietnam library. It is much more than a wartime book; sometimes joyful, sometimes sad, but always entertaining. Topics include the introduction of television to Vietnam; key on-air personalities, including Bobbie the weather girl, deejay Pat Sajak; the only female soldier to be assigned to AFVN; the movie "Good Morning, Vietnam; controversy and the tragic casualties that struck the network. An inside look at the broadcast organization comes from the dozens of AFVN veterans who share their stories--in their own words. Hot Mics and TV Lights is available in both paperback and digital editions. Buy Here
