The Veteran - Hardcover

by Walt Dodge (Author)

In writing this work, my sole purpose was to bring to the forefront the true tragedy of the Vietnam War-the treatment of the returning veteran. I'm happy to say we have made great strides to correct that fault. But it isn't enough, and we can never allow it to happen again. I further attempted to decry a warning. Listen to your veterans. They alone have the experiences tempered by war to advise and lead. In reading this story, you may notice an omission. So that you don't believe it was simply a case of poor writing, let me explain in the book why I chose this technique.
