Nam The Vietnam War in the Words of the Men and Women Who Fought There
Behind the burning sense of horror and betrayal in the Vietnam War, the personal stories remain untold. What happened to boys and girls straight out of school who were plunged form the basketball park into the napalm jungle? Who were they fighting for? How did conscripts and volunteers live through the war and how can they now live with the scars? Mark Baker recorded conversations with dozens of Vietnam veterans. This is a unique and harrowing collection of those interviews, as raw and shocking as an open wound. This is the story of the human cost of a war that had no survivors, only veterans. Glossary. "Voices we should listen to -- powerful." "Convincing . . . horrifying."
