Serving Under Adverse Conditions
Wars and The Aftermath
by: Tyrone Dancy
Review by: David Todeschini
The Vietnam War certainly has produced
more than its share of talented and prolific authors, and Tyrone Dancy is among
those whose work - born through trauma and adversity - is enviable.
"Serving Under Adverse Conditions"
is one of those enviable works. As an author of a
Vietnam-related book myself, I am perhaps a better judge than the average
"Joe" about the blood, sweat, tears, and terrible memories that result when
pouring one's heart out to try to explain the inexplicable; to impart to the
reader not just the facts, but the emotions and experiences of a combat soldier
serving during the infancy of the Civil Rights Movement.
Narrated from a unique perspective, this book is absolutely riveting. Although
Tyrone's and my experiences were very different and we write with different
styles and from different perspectives, you'll find that
"Serving Under Adverse Conditions"
has its place among some of the finest literature available on the Vietnam War.

Serving Under Adverse Conditions
Wars and The Aftermath
by: Tyrone Dancy
Tyrone T. Dancy has completed what he considers
his long overdue book: Serving Under Adverse Conditions – Wars and
the Aftermath. In Serving Under Adverse Conditions,
Tyrone takes you well beyond the comforts of yellow ribbons, the
American flag, patriotic bumper stickers and bows... and places before
you the harsh, sobering reality of combat service.
Serving Under Adverse Conditions clearly
discloses the tragic aftermath of war and, its disabling — sometimes
permanent — impact on the lives of those who serve. This unflinching
tell-all reveals disturbing facts about the unsung ebony heroes in our
midst, and how America has ignored their valor and steady contribution
for centuries. Tyrone includes both a personal message and proposal to
the current Administration, the Senate, Congress, the Department of
Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs. Learn of his prayer and
daily petition for the veterans community, their dependents and
survivors. |

About the Book
If you have ever sat and listened to a
Vietnam Veteran detail the accounts of his or her experience and had not
been there yourself to understand those stories, you most likely were
left understanding only the story, but detached from the feelings that
remain for those that fought and served during that time. “Serving Under
Adverse Conditions” removes that detachment for the reader. You will
walk where he has, you will see what he has seen through this
biographical account. This account will give you some idea why many from
that era and similar experiences, often sit alone, unable to express the
horrors they witness and the injustices they have lived through.
With a humble and modest approach, the writer will let you feel what it
is like to have your body perforated with multiple shrapnel, while being
propelled through the air in defiance of gravity. You will walk in the
shoes of those human beings who live with service incurred disabilities,
share the sorrows and their struggles, and rejoice in the power of the
human spirit through these pages. Foremost, you will be forced to
consider the “Adverse Conditions” of being a disabled Vietnam veteran,
and an African-American, and societal exile for their Military service
during much of the 1970’s and 80’s. Where society couldn’t meet his
need, Tyrone met society's. Through his compelling narrative style, he
reminds us that we are all human beings and God’s children.
You are about to embark on a walk through time, you shall not forget.
