“Chickie takes us thousands of miles on a hilarious quest laced with sorrow, but never dull. You will laugh and cry, but you will not be sorry that you read this rollicking story.”—Malachy McCourt

A wildly entertaining, feel-good memoir of an Irish-American New Yorker and former U.S. marine who embarked on a courageous, hare-brained scheme to deliver beer to his pals serving Vietnam in the late 1960s.

One night in 1967, twenty-six-year-old John Donohue—known as Chick—was out with friends, drinking in a New York City bar. The friends gathered there had lost loved ones in Vietnam. Now, they watched as anti-war protesters turned on the troops themselves.

One neighborhood patriot came up with an inspired—some would call it insane—idea. Someone should sneak into Vietnam, track down their buddies there, give them messages of support from back home, and share a few laughs over a can of beer.

It would be the Greatest Beer Run Ever.

But who’d be crazy enough to do it?

One man was up for the challenge—a U. S. Marine Corps veteran turned merchant mariner who wasn’t about to desert his buddies on the front lines when they needed him.

Chick volunteered.

A day later, he was on a cargo ship headed to Vietnam, armed with Irish luck and a backpack full of alcohol. Landing in Qui Nho’n, Chick set off on an adventure that would change his life forever—an odyssey that took him through a series of hilarious escapades and harrowing close calls, including the Tet Offensive. But none of that mattered if he could bring some cheer to his pals and show them how much the folks back home appreciated them.

This is the story of that epic beer run, told in Chick’s own words and those of the men he visited in Vietnam.

Good Read. Quick, interesting read about one man’s adventure in Vietnam to try and deliver beers to his friends from back home.

GBRE. I loved this story. It is so amazing that Chick even pulled this off. I learned more than I ever knew about the Viet Nam war. Thank you for sharing this experience.

Greatest Beer Run. As a Veteran the story is an excellent means to start understanding Vietnam veterans and clarifies how our government mislead the nation and our troops

Captivating Tale. Frightening and funny at the same time. Very accurate portrayal of an unpleasant part of US history. It brought back memories good and otherwise, from my time spent in Vietnam from 1968 to 1972. I need a beer.

A great read!. Outstanding read! Highly recommend as it takes you on a journey that is hard to put down, and also for anyone who is interested in the Viet Nam war .

Deja vu. A really fun book. However unless you’re part of our generation it might not have the same impact. The story moves along and is as much as possible being set in the middle of a war. Also interesting is how the author’s politics evolve as he gets older.
