Riassunto

The war in Vietnam was a turbulent time in our nation’s history that stirred strong feelings and deep emotions as America changed in ways that could not have been anticipated or avoided. To Vietnam and Back is an intimate family memoir that, through a lifeline of letters, offers a unique and warmly told story about one soldier’s year in Vietnam and one family anxiously awaiting his return. Readers will take a step back in time to a pivotal period of the Vietnam War, 1967-1968, and glimpse what it was like to not only leave home for the uncertainty of an increasingly controversial conflict, but also to be the parents, siblings and friends left at home to provide support the only way they knew how… through heartfelt words of everyday life. The pages are filled with emotion, humor, family and neighborhood news, while also depicting the uncertainty, fear and division caused by the war in Vietnam. It is a year of back and forth letters that brought encouragement and hope to the writers and recipients of those letters. In essence, To Vietnam and Back is a journey of the written kind that revisits and illustrates the timeless value of family, friends, faith and love.
