Bridge Ten

Harry B. Dodge III

4.9/5 (13343 ratings)

Description:It is the height of the Vietnam War. Four American soldiers are assigned to guard a bridge on Highway 1, the main coastal road linking the country north to south. While fighting rages around them, the soldiers chafe at the inaction imposed upon them by the political nature of the war. The newly-coined “Vietnamization” program is underway, whereby areas are declared “pacified” as proof of military success. The soldiers well-know the fallacy of this process, but are powerless to influence it in any way. Instead, they must endure the daily pall of dust raised by the highway traffic and military convoys grinding north and south, as well as the more ominous night-watches. The soldiers question the wisdom of their superiors and count the days until their return to the “real world.” Their one solace is the nearby village, and especially the children there that they befriend. There they find allies in their struggle against the excruciating boredom of their duty and the mindless dictates of their superiors- the “lifers.” They see themselves as protectors as well, shielding the village from the ravages of the Viet Cong. This idyllic parallel world ultimately unravels, however, when the soldiers come to realize they cannot escape the lifers and are powerless to protect the village.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
