This first time author vividly remembers experiences in Asia during the height of the cold war while in Japan, Korea, and in Vietnam where he spent ten consecutive years with his family during one of America's most controversial and tragic conflicts. He is an eye witness to the 1968 Tet offensive and left the country within a few days of the fall of Saigon but that's only half the tale. The most controversial parts of the this extraordinary story begin well before Vietnam in the United States and in several Asian cities where the young man was often sidetracked by passion, crime, poverty, recklessness, and drawn into subversive activities no patriotic American should admire. He reveals his story in a strikingly personal and provocative style. This tome you hold in your hand may be a kind of stark "Catcher in the Rye for mature adults.visualizza meno
