SUMNER, Ill., Sept. 5, 2008 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The war in Viet Nam has long been over but the quest to end the long-running chain of warfare continues. An engaging discussion about the history of conflicts and their relevance to civilization begins in Home Front: Viet Nam and Families at War, a compelling new book authored by Willard D. Gray.
Home Front: Viet Nam and Families at War recounts the private ordeals of several families who bore the brunt of America's war in Viet Nam. Their experiences, an ongoing tragedy since the last U.S. soldiers left Vietnamese soil, reveal the physical and psychological wounds of war -- wounds that don't discriminate between soldier and family. From the backwoods of Maine to the rugged wide open landscape of Montana, readers will witness the heart-pounding stories of a dozen soldiers and their families. In addition, the author's personal views and stories about the impact of war will melt your heart.
