The Greatest Beer Run Ever By John "Chick" Donohue

John Donohue, known as Chick, embarks on a daring and heartwarming adventure in the late 1960s—a beer run to Vietnam during the Vietnam War. This instant New York Times and USA Today Bestseller, now a major motion picture, captures the spirit of an Irish-American New Yorker and former U.S. Marine.

Set against the backdrop of anti-war sentiments and camaraderie in a New York City bar, Chick and friends, who had lost loved ones in Vietnam, conceive an audacious plan. Chick, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran turned merchant mariner, volunteers to bring beer, messages of support, and laughter to his buddies on the front lines.

Armed with Irish luck and a backpack filled with alcohol, Chick sets sail for Vietnam. His journey, deemed the Greatest Beer Run Ever, unfolds through a series of hilarious escapades and harrowing close calls, including encounters with the Tet Offensive.

As Chick navigates the challenges, the story becomes a tribute to friendship, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit.

The memoir captures the essence of Chick's odyssey, blending humor and poignancy, as he braves the perils of war to bring a touch of home to those who need it most. Chick's words and the accounts of the men he visited in Vietnam create a riveting tale of courage, camaraderie, and the power of a seemingly impossible mission. 📖💖
