What a Soldier Gives tells the story of a southern farmboy's experience in the bloody, forlorn rice paddies of Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War. Plainly, but graphically recalled by author David Hartline, the story intrigues the reader, offering a first-hand account of the Vietnam saga from the steamy jungles and ramshackle bordellos of Saigon to coming home to a divided America.

What a Soldier Gives is in its 9th printing. It has reviews from President and Mrs. Reagan, General Westmoreland, Tom Brokaw, and many others. This book has been given a 5-star rating and placed on many military schools' reading list.
