About The Author

I’m William Fields Jr., and this website is dedicated to my book, Vietnam 1968: Through My Eyes A Pictorial Journey. It’s a personal collection of stories and photos from my time as a young soldier in the Vietnam War, drafted right out of high school and sent halfway around the world to serve in an unpopular war.
This isn’t a graphic depiction of the war. It’s a journey—a true, honest look back at 1968 Vietnam through my eyes. As a young boy thrown into a conflict far from home, trained to follow orders and simply survive, I lived through the Tet Offensive.

What followed was a transformation from that boy into a man—only to return home to a world that wasn’t ready to welcome me back.
I want you to understand what Vietnam was really like, not based on myths or misconceptions, but through the truth of my experiences
and the photos I’ve shared. These images will give you a window into the reality of those times.
I hope that as you read through my story, you’ll not only learn about the war but also about what it was like for those of us who lived it.
It’s my way of sharing a part of history that’s often misunderstood or overlooked.
Thanks again for visiting. Feel free to look around, learn more about my journey, and if you feel moved by what you see, I’d be honored if
you grabbed a copy of the book.
Take care, and welcome to my world.

William Fields Jr.
