Riassunto

Set against the backdrop of the nightmare years of the Vietnam War, Shopping Cart Soldiers is an odyssey to the heart of war and its appalling aftermath. Told through the eyes of a Scottish immigrant, drafted to fight for America while still a British citizen, the story unfolds of an "Empty" man, who loses his soul in the jungles of Vietnam. It is a story of his struggle, a pilgrimage to the very core of Being itself, as his soul battles to return to its home, to return to his body.
Graced with the mysticism of ancient Gaelic and Asian cultures, Shopping Cart Soldiers has a powerful insight only an outsider can provide. It is a slide to the hells of addiction, homelessness and chronic stress disorders. It is an imaginative, intense ride through the wonder of life, in a place shrouded with death.
