Riassunto

Not My Father's War is set in the turbulent 1960's, when William B. Wilson IV, a Nashville native and scion of one of the South's prominent families, is caught up in the Vietnam War as an Infantry Lieutenant. His second in command is a Negro Sergeant, Booker Ellis, from Natchez, Mississippi. Their doubts about the war multiply, as together they try to bring their small group through unscathed.On the critical list is Will's relationship with Katherine, the girl back home, who struggles to reconcile her anti-war feelings with Will's current job description.The demons that Vietnam unleashed are part of the lives of any man or woman who lived through this difficult period in the history of our Country, both those who served in the military, and those who did not.Ultimately, it is the power of forgiveness that triumphs.* * *David C. Martin, National Security Correspondent for CBS News, said it best..."For the men and women who had the Vietnam War come steamrolling through their lives, and for the 58,000 who died in that awful war, this deeply felt book delivers as good an epitaph as there will ever be."
