""Winter Soldiers "is an immensely valuable contribution to the
history of the Vietnam War. It brings to life, through the words of
the veterans themselves, the journey each individual made, through
the crucible of combat, from warrior to protester."--Howard
Zinn
"Stacewicz has captured the simple, rough-hewn elegance of the
voices of Vietnam veterans. As in other wars, the ordinary soldier
always has the most extraordinary words for history."--Stanley
Kutler, editor of "The Encyclopedia of the Vietnam War"
"By turns irreverent and painfully sincere, "Winter Soldiers
"will transform stereotyped views of both veterans and the antiwar
movement."--Marilyn Young
The Vietnam War left an indelible mark on those who took part in
it and spawned an antiwar movement more popular than any other in
US history. In all that has been written about the war, rarely do
the worlds of the Vietnam veteran and the antiwar demonstrator come
together. Yet in a small but articulate organization known as the
Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), the two made common
cause.
"Winter Soldiers "recovers this moving chapter in the history of
the Vietnam War era. Bringing together the voices of more than
thirty former and current members of the VVAW, oral historian
Richard Stacewicz offers an eloquent account of the impact of the
war on the lives of individuals and the nation.
Richard Stacewicz teaches history at Oakton Community College in
Des Plaines, Illinois.
