The Greatest Beer Run Ever: A Memoir of Friendship, Loyalty, and War by John "Chick" Donahue and J.T. Molloy is a true story about an extraordinary journey during the Vietnam War. In 1967, Donahue, a former Marine and merchant seaman, embarks on an improbable mission to deliver beer to his neighborhood friends serving in combat.

Spurred by a barroom conversation and a desire to support his buddies, Donahue sneaks into Vietnam by hitching a ride on a merchant ship. Once there, he embarks on a dangerous and unpredictable journey through war zones, carrying only a duffel bag filled with beer. He navigates military checkpoints, enemy territory, and life-threatening situations, all in the name of camaraderie.

Blending humor, adventure, and the harsh realities of war, the book offers a unique perspective on the Vietnam War from the eyes of an unlikely civilian. Donahue’s incredible story is both a lighthearted and deeply human tale about friendship, loyalty, and the absurdity of war.
