SGT Rick York dispels this assumption in his excellent autobiography that takes the reader on a journey of bravery and death through the jungles of Viet Nam, in 1967.Unlike today's all-volunteer Army, in 1967 most of the soldiers in the Viet Nam had been drafted; ordered by their government to report for duty; to fight and kill, if so commanded. And like so many other brave men, 20 year-old Rick York answered his country's call to duty.Often amusing and entertaining, we follow this uncomplicated, fun-loving young man's journey through basic training - full of pranks and oddball characters you'd only encounter in the Army. But the mood changes and things get more serious as PFC. York is sent to Viet Nam and assigned to a small "reconnaissance platoon" in the Central Highlands. Their job; to spy on the enemy and gather intelligence. And this information was usually gained through deadly, up-close-and-personal combat and the barrel of a gun.We follow York as he volunteers and excels as a "tunnel rat" - a guy who crawls into the enemy's dark, hidden tunnels alone - with just his .45 - looking for trouble and intel. His bravery and leadership skills command respect and he quickly become the leader of his squad - a band of brothers alone in the jungle without electricity, running water, telephone or news from the outside world.We live and die with his squad. We come to understand how men are willing to sacrifice for each other: How war forges bonds and friendships that are unique and special; that supersede the individual. And we completely comprehend the question that permeated SGT. York's mind from sun up to sun set ... Will I Die Today?But for me, Mr. York's powerful narrative transcends the combat and killing and finally comes to meditate on the price the soul has to pay to preserve oneself and survive the horrors of war. Apparently, it's a mighty price, that pays dividends the rest of a person's life. And therein lies the rub, not only for the soldiers of Viet Nam, but for today's heroes as well.I commend SGT. York for sharing his story and how he managed to deal with the aftermath of the war. He's one of the lucky ones. And we're lucky to have a memoir as honest and as moving as "Will I Die Today". --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/60930467-will-i-die-today-paperback-january-1-2012](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/60930467-will-i-die-today-paperback-january-1-2012) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
