About This Item
New York, NY: William Morrow, 2003 William Morrow, New York. 2003. Hardcover. BOMC. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Fine. DJ: Fine. Black boards and spine with bright gilt lettering on spine. 552pp 8vo. This book presents the frank, moving, and harrowing stories of men who served in World War II and of their sons who served in Vietnam- fathers and sons bonded as deeply by their common experience as by blood. The contrasts are clearly seen in the contrasting stories and the similar horrors; war's carnage, war's heroism, war's purpose, war's futility, war's meaning, war's tragic meaninglessness. A clean pristine copy.
