Worth the Trip

In the Western half of divided Berlin, the US Army is fighting a losing battle with its own scruffy, unruly soldiers. Worth the Trip tells of the lives of Vietnam-era soldiers who didn’t go to Southeast Asia. Unlike their counterparts in Vietnam, these soldiers didn’t carry rifles; their weapons were radio receivers. No shots were fired in their war, but it was fought seven days a week, year in and year out. Worth the Trip is the story of C Trick, part of an elite electronic espionage unit, and the personal and official shenanigans that made up the military experience. It is affectionate, irreverent and bawdy — and captures the spirit of a turbulent time.
