This is one of the better personal accounts to come out of the Vietnam War. In a remote province in Vietnam's Mekong delta, First Lieutenant David Donovan became a de facto ruler. Hence the title – [b:Once A Warrior King: Memories of an Officer in Vietnam 40502 Once A Warrior King Memories of an Officer in Vietnam David Donovan http://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327815697s/40502.jpg 40091]. It is a gripping story of an unusual war and its effects on the young men who fought it.The vivid description of being saved from being overrun one night by the awesome destructive power of an Arc Light strike will probably stay with me forever.
