Michael Putzel’s award-winning first book, The Price They Paid: Enduring Wounds of War, is the stunning and dramatic true story of a legendary air cavalry commander in Vietnam and the soldiers who followed him into the most intensive helicopter warfare ever—and how that brutal experience changed their lives in the many years since the war ended. The Price They Paid was selected by Foreword Reviews as its Gold Book of the Year for war and military nonfiction among thousands of books published each year by independent and university presses.
