The body of work assembled in this collection falls within the
tradition of how wars are remembered, and written of, by their
surviving veterans. The War I Survived Was Vietnam, and my writing
about it, excepting a few poems, has been confined to the staples
of non-fiction: memoir, reporting, criticism and commentary. Among
the articles reproduced here, criticism is by far the dominant
voice in which I have processed my post-war reflections. A good
deal of this work also ventures into the exploratory realm of the
American veteran identity, to include my personal struggle to
outdistance the demons of PTSD. As print has evolved into digital
media, my criticism has migrated increasingly to the blogosphere
permitting the restrictive boundaries of the book review to blossom
over the more far ranging horizons of the essay. Several of these
works are of relevance to how the Vietnam experience is being
archived by scholars for historical interpretation. Prior to my
career in the writing life, I was a political activist advocating
for the welfare of GIs and veterans, notably around the health
effects of exposure during active service to deadly radiation and
poisonous herbicides. Selected material on these topics has also
been included in this collection.
