Juan Ramirez always believed he would die in Vietnam. As a teenager
growing up in the San Francisco area in the early 1960s, "Nam was
there, just over the horizon, like the distant thump of artillery."
His father and uncles had served in World War II, another uncle in
Korea. Numerous cousins had enlisted. At nineteen, Ramirez decided
to embrace the war. In 1968, the year of the Tet offensive, Ramirez
joined the U.S. marines. Two bloody tours later, Ramirez survived,
but at immense cost. Twice wounded, undesirably discharged, and
plagued by survivor's guilt, Ramirez surveys the toll of Vietnam on
flesh and spirit in this captivating memoir. Ramirez tells his
story in a voice not often heard from the war, that of a Chicano
soldier. By tracing his roots, and exploring the cultural pressures
and social demons that weighed on his family and community, Ramirez
offers an unflinching look at the fall and redemption of one
Mexican American veteran. "Ramirez has given us a rather unique and
clear-eyed view inside the life and times and thoughts of a young
Chicano who joins the marines and goes to Vietnam to find his
destiny. . . . Fascinating reading."--Joseph L. Galloway, author of
We Were Soldiers Once . . . And Young.
El crecimiento, los ultimos 50 anos, de la zona conurbada del
oriente de la ciudad de Mexico, en el ex-lago de Texcoco y la
historia de unas mujeres solas y pobres, que crean un jardin,que
solo pueden conservar por la fe popular,al amparo de una imagen de
la virgen. Una lucha cotidiana del amor y la esperanza en ese valle
de aire irrespirable, que nada importa a una clase dirigente vana e
irresponsable.
