Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Influenced by patriotic war movies, joining the army and
fighting for his country seemed to be a purposeful and honorable
endeavor. Bill had been a delinquent kid and a high school dropout
and later became a brokenhearted drunk whose girlfriend left him
for a responsible insurance salesman. This is his true story and
his perceived reality written from his paratrooper/infantryman's
perspective in explicit detail. The reader will be outraged by the
immorality, the lies from the top, and the insanity of the Vietnam
War. The gripping detail of jungle warfare is riveting, touching,
and raw. The author describes his intense search for meaning and
his long battle with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after
the war. He details his college experiences during the turbulent
counterculture movement of the sixties which deeply affected the
country and was instrumental in stopping the war. He recounts his
efforts through the years to find himself; he explains the darkest
period of his life in the war and its paradoxical connection to his
epiphany: a spiritual discovery of service, compassion, and love
toward others as a means of preventing his own suicide. He
describes his long journey toward healing as he seeks
self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others and of God for his
stupidity and perverse taking of life. He looks at the sociology of
class struggle, both in the military and at a college in
California, as a professor and counselor and as a director of a
large disabled student services program. He finds peace, purpose,
and healing through his work with disabled students and later with
those living in his RV park who are among the lowest socioeconomic
groups in our society.
This book will make the reader cry, laugh, and become angry at
the arrogance of authority and how history continues to repeat
itself. The author realized years ago that surviving PTSD meant
facing the whole truth. If he can help combat veterans cope with
their problems and find truth and meaning in their lives as a
result of this book, he will be deeply gratified.

This book examines artists' engagements with design and
architecture since the 1980s, and asks what they reveal about
contemporary capitalist production and social life. Setting recent
practices in historical relief, and exploring the work of Dan
Graham, Rita McBride, Tobias Rehberger and Liam Gillick, Bill
Roberts argues that design is a singularly valuable lens through
which artists evoke, trace and critique the forces and relations of
production that underpin everyday experience in advanced capitalist
economies.
