Neithammer joins up with a new group deployed in the Vietnam War by the US Navy...the Seals. They're not exactly happy with the older 'Journal' tagging along but orders are orders. The problem is 'Journal' can't really figure out what the Seals' orders exactly are. As preparations get underway for the Dak To engagement 'Journal' ventures out into the jungle but ends up escorting a pregnant villager to safety only to discover she's really with the enemy. And afterwards as a battle rages towards occupying a hill that has no significant value 'Journal' finds he has to deal with both choking gas and Vietcong snipers. These stories plus a short story titled Dustoff are included in Book Three. Collects issues 9-12 of the series. </span></p><p><span style=color: rgb(51 51 51); font-family: Arial sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255 255 255); text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;>Entertainment Weekly labels Vietnam Journal as a graphic novel you should own and is recommended by the Military History Book Club while Max Brooks (World War Z) names Vietnam Journal as one of his best war comic series.</span> </p>
