In That Time tells the story of the American experience in Vietnam
through the life of Michael O'Donnell, a promising young poet who
became a soldier and helicopter pilot in Vietnam. O'Donnell wrote
with great sensitivity and poetic force about his world and
especially the war that was slowly engulfing him and his most
well-known poem is still frequently cited and reproduced. Nominated
for the Congressional Medal of Honour, O'Donnell never fired a shot
in Vietnam. During an ill-fated attempt to rescue fellow soldiers,
O'Donnell's helicopter was shot down in the jungles of Cambodia
where he and his crew remained missing for almost 30 years. In
telling O'Donnell's story, In That Time also tells the stories of
those around him, both famous and ordinary, who helped to shape the
events of the time and who were themselves shaped by them. The book
is both a powerful personal story and a compelling, universal one
about how America lost its way in the 1960s.
