Book Overview
I volunteered to go to Vietnam, but as a conscientious objector to war. . . . While most of these events took place in the midst of the war, this is not exactly a story about the war, but a story of rescue. Most of the children I helped save--scalped, burned, blasted, or shot when I found them--are now adults, parents or even grandparents themselves. . . . And while many of my funny, wise, reckless, young American friends of those days are dead, what they did and what they learned is not. It is as if all of us were being watched, all of us journeying under a brilliant blue sky that is the face of heaven.--from the preface

A Classic
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
One of the most beautifully written books I have ever read. I am looking forward to reading it for the third time. The author blends the art of writing prose with a powerful message. He was a participant observer in the Vietnam War. Read his story. You won't be disappointed. You have to be moved emotionally! It will make you think...about a lot of things worth thinking about.
