"I cannot begin to count the number of times over the past 37 years
that I have wished I had never heard of Vietnam, let alone fought
in the Vietnam War. That experience has haunted my days. It has
troubled my nights. It has shaped my identity and colored the way I
see the world and everything in it"--from the Introduction. W. D.
Ehrhart, called "one of the great poets and writers of nonfiction
produced by the Vietnam War" by The Nation, here presents 42
essays, whose topics include not only the Gulf, Vietnam, and Korean
wars, the conflict between Israel and Palestine, war and
journalism, and American war poetry, but also junk mail, the
Internet, the IRS, tugboats, drawbridges, race relations, the
justice system, health care, and small town life in America,
nicotine addiction, the bravado of youth, honesty and American
culture, the rhetoric of national mythology, and presidential
isolation, among others.
