Today we present the last of our "author interviews" for the year. William Taylor was a Marine who served in Vietnam for 13 months, earning 3 Purple Hearts and 2 Presidential Unit citations in the process. His book about the experience is a well written one which will take you into the thick of the action. It was a pleasure to interview Bill and read his book. I know you will enjoy it just as much as I did.
