Ron Kovic went to Vietnam dreaming of being an American hero. What
he found there changed him profoundly, even before the severe
battlefield injury that left him paralysed from the waist down. He
returned to an America indifferent to the realities of war and the
fate of those who fought for their country. From his wheelchair he
became one of the most visible and outspoken opponents of the
Vietnam War. Born on the Fourth of July is a journey of
self-discovery, a reckoning with the horrors of an unjust war, a
testament to courage and a call to protest. A modern classic of
anti-war writing, it inspired an Oscar-winning film, sold over one
million copies and remains as powerful and relevant today as when
it was first published.
