The Official Website for Timothy Kenneth O'Neil

“Of all the books on the War in Vietnam, none comes closer to the madness, heroics, and incomprehensibility of The First Door is the Final Exit. As an author and veteran, I was completely blown away with this book. It is absolutely sensational. For WW2, there was Heller-and for Vietnam, Timothy Kenneth O’Neil now occupies center stage. After my final deployment, I swore I would never go back- and yet, the dark truth and darker humor of this work positioned me back in Vietnam. At both the 30,000 foot view and the on-the-ground reality, this book informs, questions, and reminds us what was lost, and what can be learned from this war. Prepare yourself for satire and the reality and vocabulary of combat and death. Truly, a great piece of writing, story-telling, and history all rolled into one."
