The Blades Carry Me: Inside the Helicopter War in Vietnam is one of the latest 2014 book releases on the Vietnam War. Co-authored by Army veteran, James V. Weatherill, and his wife, Anne, the book offers a fresh perspective with emphasis on how the war affects both those on the battlefront and those who wait at home for their return.
The authors’ narratives alternately bring the reader into the cockpit of the Army CH-47 Chinook helicopter with James and his crew in the war zone and Anne’s challenges with motherhood, college, and living with in-laws in Southern California from November 1967 to November 1968. The result is an exciting memoir that promises the action of an adventure story and the blissful resolution of a romance novel.
In the current war against terror where the fallout too often has resulted in shattering of human relationships and the breakdown of emotional health, The Blades Carry Me is a documented reminder that faith and hope are paramount human interests that make it possible to endure the most difficult times that try the human soul. The Blades Carry Me is available as a paperback and ebook through online booksellers at http://www.amazon.com/The-Blades-Carry-Me-Helicopter-ebook/dp/B00IU6LU6O.
