About this product

Product Information

Doug Bradley and Craig Werner place popular music at the heart of the American experience in Vietnam. They explore how and why US troops turned to music as a way of connecting to each other and the world back home and of coping with the complexities of the war they had been sent to fight. They also demonstrate that music was important for every group of Vietnam veterans.

Reviews
We Gotta Get Out of This Place is highly recommended to scholars and popular audiences interested in understanding the individual experiences of American troops who served in Vietnam, as well as to returning veterans seeking to overcome distressing memories of their own wartime experiences., Authors Doug Bradley and Craig Werner have given us a gift: a compendious book that looks at the music we rock-and-roll-generation Americans who served in the Vietnam War listened to.... For anyone who wants to know about music and the Vietnam War, this is the book to read. Will another book ever be needed? I can't imagine it. This is the book that I've long wanted on this subject. If I were still teaching a course on the Vietnam War, I would use this book as a text., Doug Bradley and Craig Werner's account of music's connection to the Vietnam War is intimate and deeply informative, with a scope that encompasses both the war itself and the way that music has helped raise awareness of veterans' issues long after its end. We Gotta Get Out of This Place gives the reader a good sense of how the popularity of different songs and styles waxed and waned over the years, as the mood of the war changed. It also gives plenty of space for extended first-person narratives (dubbed 'Solos') offering a diverse array of viewpoints, including many from veterans who found themselves in anti-war camps, those who felt more conflicted about the anti-war movement, and musicians like Country Joe McDonald and James Brown. Nuanced and frequently moving. #1 Music Book for 2015, Thoroughly researched, powerfully written and insightful... Perhaps most fascinatingly of all, We Gotta Get Out of This Place demonstrates how the music that found its way into the lives of the men and women who fought the war changed as the war dragged on, reflecting the dramatic changes 'back in the world.'... In the concluding 'Solo' of the book, Vietnam vet Jay Maloney begins, 'There is no such thing as one Vietnam. There were more than two and a half million of them.' No single book could capture that many Vietnams, or the multitude of voices needed to describe them, any more than you could squeeze that many singers onto a single 45 RPM record or write a song to evoke all of their experiences. But the remarkable achievement of Bradley and Werner's We Gotta Get Out of This Place is how close they've come to making that many voices of Vietnam veterans heard., "Intimate and deeply informative, with a scope that encompasses both the war itself and the way that music has helped raise awareness of veterans' issues long after its end." --Rolling Stone, Intimate and deeply informative, with a scope that encompasses both the war itself and the way that music has helped raise awareness of veterans' issues long after its end., Music can be ephemeral and evanescent. That's why We Gotta Get Out of This Place is so important: It preserves the impressions of those who were in the Vietnam War, listening, shooting, trying to stay alive.

    Book: We Gotta Get Out of This Place

    This book tells first-hand experiences of our soldiers in the Viet Nam war. It gives the story of their feelings of uncertainty since the war was not popular at home. The soldiers found American songs of all genres to be a comfort to them from the general uncertainty of why they were there. The title song is one that was a rock and roll hit by a group named the Animals. II became an anthem for the soldiers. It is one they wanted to hear from foreign singing groups during their stay. I have not gotten very far into this book; this review is based on what I have learned from the beginning chapters. Not being a veteran, this is very interesting to help me learn about military life in a war that I remembrer.
