Derived of the author's Vietnam War experience, the thirty-seven
stories in this sometimes harrowing, sometimes hilarious collection
look back at the Vietnam War from a distance of forty or more
years, nearly a half-century, and via the perspectives of not only
the soldiers themselves, but also their children, spouses,
siblings, parents, friends. Nothing comparable to this collection
exists within the literature growing out of the Vietnam War. NAM is
hardly just another batch of macho war stories. These short
fictions, most of them memoir-based, neither glorify nor even
excuse war but come forward instead as eloquent testament to the
tragic lunacy of it.
