From the award-winning writer and artist of the Vietnam Journal comic book series.

The Battle of Hamburger Hill took place May 13-20, 1969 and was fought by U.S. Army and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) forces against the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) of North Vietnam during Operation Apache Snow. Heavily-fortified with trenches and bunkers Hill 937, nicknamed Hamburger Hill, was a ridge on the mountain Dong Ap Bia in central Vietnam near the western border with Laos. The hill had little strategic value but U.S. command ordered its capture by a frontal assault. Upon capture by U.S. forces the hill was soon abandoned thereafter, falling back into North Vietnam hands. The action caused a controversy both within the American military and back home with the public.

After 'Vietnam Journal' concluded its initial comic book run the series continued as a featured one-page monthly serial in Gallery Magazine. The serial depicted the events of Hamburger Hill. Writer/Artist of 'Vietnam Journal', Don Lomax, who served during the Vietnam War and put to paper his experiences, tells the story of Hamburger Hill through the eyes of a fictional character, that of embedded war reporter Scott 'Journal' Neithammer. Collected here is the entire serial as it appeared in Gallery Magazine.
