Abstract: "Told in a series of emails to his family, Charles McDonald Holt recounts the many fascinating situations he endured while on his own personal tour of duty. Sometimes harrowing, oftentimes laugh out loud funny, but always thought-provoking, he is a "stranger in a strange land" indeed. Read about fallen comrades' ceremonies, plumbing that is both primitive and mystifyingly complicated, and how he is forced to share his chicken dinner with the biggest insect he had ever seen. Holt sees it all and tells it all--and never loses his sense of perspective. His stories have heart and humor. His was an experience he'll never forget. His tales are ones you'll always remember."--Publisher's description.
