ROBERT BARTLETT

Robin Bartlett takes you back 55 years to a "boots on the ground" account of his extraordinary combat experiences as a 22-year-old 1st Lieutenant with the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). As a combat infantry platoon leader, he deployed a 28-man platoon on more than 50 search and destroy missions and helicopter assaults into hot landing zones at the height of the Vietnam War. As a result of these unusual events and his training as a combat Infantry officer, Robin discusses meaningful lessons learned about leadership, decision making and courage that inspire valuable business and life applications.

Bartlett's vivid combat events are brought to light in a fast-moving presentation expressing the horror, fear, anguish, and sometimes illogical humor of the Vietnam War. He brings to light the long-term impact, both positive and negative, on his home life and business career...with insights about leadership, decision making, courage, PTSD, and life lessons learned...stories that will stay with you long past the end of his presentation.

His book, Vietnam Combat: Firefights and Writing History has been selected as a finalist in the Foreword Indies Awards in the war history category and by the Army Historical Foundation for distinguished writing. The book was positively reviewed in "On Point: The Journal of Army History." See website to read reviews, watch videos, photos, blogs and more: www.RobinBartlettAuthor.com

Robin is a graduate of Claremont McKenna College in California with a BA degree in Comparative Literature and an MA degree in Media Studies from Pace University, NYC. He lives in Norwood, New Jersey with his wife. He has three grown sons, none of whom have pursued military service.
