Ten years after the publication of his first memoir, author and Vietnam veteran Fred Krebsbach is back with the rest of his story.
For years, Fred has fielded questions from readers who wanted to know more about his time in Vietnam and his life after coming home. While recuperating from major surgery, he found himself compelled to start writing again—stories about the food he ate in Vietnam, how he and his fellow soldiers took care of their feet, the booby traps and rats they faced, their reception by the public when they came home, the lasting physical aftereffects of combat, and the many adventures he’s been on in the past fifty years.
The result is Okay Okay: Holier, Sh*ttier Vietnam. It’s 50,000 words, but for Fred the heart of it is this:
“I buried Vietnam so deep I thought it would never see the light of day. Well, that sure as shit didn’t work out. A wounded soul never sees the end of war.”
Fred’s story is sure to resonate with veterans and those who love a veteran. His heartfelt wish is to open a path toward understanding, happiness, and healing.
