About the Book:
not much of a war
2007 Edition: Perfect Bound; 5.5x8.5 inches; 176 pages
ISBN: 1-933912-58-8 $14.95
This was a recurrent theme of those brash, young military officers, mostly West Pointers, who were assigned as advisors to ARVN (Army of Vietnam-Republic of South
Vietnam) troops in 1962. How we all were to rue those words before it ended in disaster in
1975! “Those who know me will recognize that I have spoken very little about Vietnam, even when I was still on active duty and especially since my retirement. This seemed like a good time to document facts and opinions while they are still vivid and clear in my mind. My
reticence, until now, is not the result of any deep secrets or emotional trauma which occurred while I was there. As a matter of fact, although there was a fair amount of combat, it was mild compared to what was to come. It's just that I've always felt that
unless you have something important to say, you ought to keep quiet. I've obviously reached that point.” - Dr. O'Neill Barrett, Jr

Luck of the Irish
2006 Edition, 5.5x8.5, 212 Pages

$14.95
"Some time ago, my wise and wonderful wife, Elois, suggested that I record some information about my life and career, especially, though not exclusively, intended
for my children and immediate family. She thought they might, in the future, want to know more about "what I did and how I came to do it." The Barrett clan in general has not been good about maintaining an historical identity of the family. Perhaps this treatise will
offer some insight, add a little substantive information to the family story and encourage others in the family to preserve family history. It is not intended as a complete autobiography - more as a sketch, or an extended time line, strong on objective material, minimizing most of the emotional and personal information found in complete
autobiographies and perhaps made readable by a little humor." - Dr. O'Neill Barrett, Jr.
