Jeff Danziger has been an award-winning independent newspaper cartoonist for nearly 25 years. He now works with the Washington Post Writers Group.
After being drafted, he served in the Army from 1968 to 1971 and was sent to Vietnam in 1970. “Lieutenant Dangerous” is his memoir about that time. The book’s title plays on the Vietnamese’s attempts to pronounce his name.
As with his cartooning, Danziger pulls no punches with his description of his time in the service and Vietnam.
“I knew that I didn’t want to go, although I had no strong objection to other people going. I knew nothing about the army. I knew nothing about the army. I knew nothing about the history of Indochina. And I had no idea where or what Vietnam was. A survey … revealed that a scant 6 percent of Americans could find Vietnam on the map, and most of those did so by accident.”
