iVLore
than twenty-five years after the official end of the Vietnam War, Dear
America allows us to witness the war firsthand through the eyes of the men
and women who served in Vietnam. In this collection of more than
200
letters,
they share their first impressions of the rigors of life in the bush, their longing
for home and family, their emotions over the conduct of the war, and their
ache at the loss of a friend in battle. Poignant in their rare honesty, the letters
from Vietnam are riveting,
. . .
extraordinary by [their] very ordinariness,
. . .
for the most part, neither deep nor philosophical, only very, very human (Los
Angeles Times). Revealing the complex emotions and daily realities of fighting
in the war, these close accounts offer a powerful, uniquely personal portrait of
the many faces of Vietnam s veterans.
