If there is one thing that I learned as a result of my Vietnam experience is that government—all governments for that matter—are not to be trusted.

John 'Chick' Donohue

Introduction

In 1968, public opinion in the U.S. was becoming increasingly divided over the Vietnam War.

As the war raged on, this anti-war sentiment was channeled toward the behavior of American GIs stationed in Vietnam.

To Marine Corps veteran John 'Chick' Donohue, the soldiers of the U.S. army were being unfairly criticized.

Donohue wanted to support the soldiers, and after a night of drunken scheming, he set out for the front line of the Vietnam War. His mission: to deliver beer to his friends in the army.

In The Greatest Beer Run Ever, Donohue tells the story of his bizarre personal odyssey, spawned out of friendship and a sense of duty.

With the help of co-author and journalist J. T. Molloy, Donohue recounts a beer run from New York to the very heart of war-torn Vietnam in this story of friendship, danger, and the harsh realities of the Vietnam War.
