Описание: For a Kentucky rifleman who spent his tour trudging through Vietnams Central Highlands, it was Nancy Sinatras These Boots Are Made for Walkin. For a tunnel rat who blew smoke into the Viet Congs underground tunnels, it was Jimi Hendrixs Purple Haze. For a black marine distraught over the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., it was Aretha Franklins Chain of Fools. And for countless other Vietnam vets, it was I Feel Like Im Fixin to Die, Wholl Stop the Rain, or the song that gives this book its title.In We Gotta Get Out of This Place, Doug Bradley and Craig Werner place popular music at the heart of the American experience in Vietnam. They explore how and why U.S. troops turned to music as a way of connecting to each other and the World back home and of coping with the complexities of the war they had been sent to fight. They also demonstrate that music was important for every group of Vietnam veterans -- black and white, Latino and Native American, men and women, officers and grunts -- whose personal reflections drive the books narrative. Many of the voices are those of ordinary soldiers, airmen, seamen, and marines. But there are also solo pieces by veterans whose writings have shaped our understanding of the war -- Karl Marlantes, Alfredo Vea, Yusef Komunyakaa, Bill Ehrhart, Arthur Flowers -- as well as songwriters and performers whose music influenced soldiers lives, including Eric Burdon, James Brown, Bruce Springsteen, Country Joe McDonald, and John Fogerty. Together their testimony taps into memories -- individual and cultural -- that capture a central if often overlooked component of the American war in Vietnam.
