Autorenporträt

Inhaltsangabe

This book provides a fresh approach to understanding the American combat
soldier's experience in Vietnam. It integrates such topics as the political
culture, the experiences of training, the actual Vietnam experience, and
the 'homecoming', and offers a remarkable overview of the 870,000 'grunts'
who bore the brunt of the fighting in the jungles and highlands of South
Vietnam, and eventually Cambodia and Laos. The book addresses many of the
stereotypes of the Vietnam combat veteran that have been perpetrated in
popular culture, and also considers how Vietnam veterans have been
commemorated through memorials and other means, and how the veterans
remember each other. Coverage also includes women who served in or near the
front lines as well as on the home front. The author draws on memoirs and
oral histories including his personal interviews with veterans, but the
book conveys a picture of the Vietnam combat soldier's experience far more
powerful than what individual memoirs can provide.
