Book #4 of the A Soldier’s Heart—Combat in Vietnam Series
Two weeks before his departure to Vietnam, Second Lieutenant Martin Shadows’s father encourages him to visit his Lakota Sioux grandfather in Montana, a man he has seen only once as a boy.
When Grandfather Two Shadows begins telling him of his visions concerning Martin’s upcoming tour of duty in Vietnam, the young lieutenant is non-plussed by the old man’s revelations.
As a newly commissioned U.S. Army Officer, he finds tales of himself leaping from trees to slay his enemies with a knife and riding the fiery breath of a great bird into the mountains are a bit beyond the pale—if not totally bizarre. Only when these predictions begin coming to pass, does Martin wish he had listened more closely.
A Reader’s Review of The Ghost

5.0 out of 5 stars A Veteran’s perspective
Reviewed in the United States on October 19, 2022
Upon completing Mr. DeStefanis’ Vietnam series, I can heartily recommend each book for not only avid military history buffs, but extending to casual readers of action/adventure type of fiction.
Each book can stand alone, but also jointly develop and clarify a viewpoint about the war held by many who valiantly served .
Each character draws the reader into a soldier’s daily grind, and the terror that inevitably invades the routine of military life.
You actually identify with the Ghost, and the Birdhouse Man, and all the other protagonists in Mr. DeStefanis’ novels.
He’s earned the “ Expert “ badge of the literary marksman.
