From 1968, when Toby Woodruff saw refusing to fight as the way to serve the America he believed in, to Sarah Shepherd, who finally makes peace with her brother's death and her own turbulent history when she visits Vietnam in 1993, the stories trace the struggles of those who served, those who resisted, and the families and friends caught between them. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book was originally published in 2012 as \u003ci\u003eCollateral Damage\u003c\/i\u003e.
