September 22 Days

In a war ravaged country where in one civilian construction camp the workers felt safe until it was found their Project Manager was paying the Viet Cong Tax money. The situation quickly changed with the Viet Cong vowing the Americans would never finish re-building Highway#l, and conducted operations to stop the work effort. The new Security Chief found him facing threats on his life along with a den of thieves, and with a new Project Manager who did not want to get involved in the war. His military training assisted him in counteracting the situation with persuasive techniques and drastic actions that the Vietnamese workers quickly gave him the nickname," The Devil." The Security Chief with a Chinese Nung Platoon assisting him provided security for the camp and roadwork crews. With the help of two reliable assistants and honest Vietnamese assets he attempted to deter theft. In a country where life meant nothing and each day there was traffic deaths and Viet Cong activity the American and expatriate employees knew any day could be their last.Woelfel, Lou is the author of 'September 22 Days' with ISBN 9781418439958 and ISBN 1418439959.
