Lieutenant Jack Walker and marine Jeff Dunlay never met on American soil, even though they were both young military men in 1967. Instead, they met in Viet Nam. They didn't have much in common; military service was their strongest link. Even so, through time spent as prisoners of war, the two men became less separate, more whole.

Friendships blossom under strange conditions. For Jack's wife, Sally, and Jeff's sister, Susie, the most important men in their lives left them to fight a battle on the other side of the world. In their distress, the two women also formed a bond. When each missed her loved one, they comforted each other. They had little in common beyond the fear of loss, but it didn't matter.

"One More Sunrise" is a story of war, but it is also a story of friendships built through unlikely situations-friendships with the power to last a lifetime. Surrounded by the violence of Viet Nam, it would be easy to lose hope, but hope was all they had. Sally and Susie must await the return of their brave men; Jack and Jeff must pray for One More Sunrise.

Love beneath the Napalm is James D. Redwood's collection of deeply affecting stories about the enduring effects of colonialism and the Vietnamese War over the course of a century on the Vietnamese and the American and French foreigners who became inextricably connected with their fate. These finely etched, powerful tales span a wide array of settings, from the former imperial capital of Hue at the end of the Nguyen Dynasty, to Hanoi after the American pullout from Vietnam, the Chinese invasion of Vietnam in 1979, contemporary San Francisco, and Schenectady, New York. Redwood reveals the inner lives of the Vietnamese characters and also shows how others appear through their eyes. Some of the images and characters in Love beneath the Napalm-the look that Mr. Tu's burned and scarred face always inflicts on strangers in the title story; attorney and American Vietnam War-veteran Carlton Griswold's complicated relationship with Mary Thuy in "The Summer Associate"; Phan Van Toan's grief and desire, caught between two worlds in "The Stamp Collector"-provide a haunting, vivid portrayal of lives uprooted by conflict. Throughout, readers will find moments that cut to the quick, exposing human resilience, sorrow, joy, and the traumatic impact of war on all those who are swept up in it.
