Stephen (Shorty) Menendez was a Tunnel Rat in Vietnam during 1969-70. He served with the 25th Infantry
Division, famed for their daring in jungle warfare. Armed with only a flashlight and a pistol, he crawled headfirst
into the most dangerous caves in the world, facing the enemy, one on one. Few men have been called “Tunnel Rat;” a
title bestowed by his peers as a badge of honor. Only the bravest qualified….
In this, his debut novel, Shorty takes us headlong into those tunnels
with him. The taste of moist dirt, the
boom and smoke of a .45-caliber pistol, and the pitch darkness he lived in will
shock the reader. Shorty’s below-ground
battles are nothing less than incredible!
Shorty reunites with his old platoon and travels back to Vietnam, only to
find himself thrust onto the same battlefields and into the same dangers he
faced during the war. His trip back
through time is a thriller; a must read for every veteran who has ever thought
about returning to Vietnam.
Shorty writes with wit, compassion and skill. He presents a unique outlook on the war, one
that every veteran and non-veteran will enjoy.
