Описание:
In the decades since the Vietnam War, veteran memoirs have influenced Americans’ understanding of the conflict. Yet few historians or literary scholars have scrutinized how the genre has shaped the nation’s collective memory of the war and its aftermath. Instead, veterans’ accounts are mined for colorful quotes and then dropped from public discourse; are accepted as factual sources with little attention to how memory, no matter how authentic, can diverge from events; or are not contextualized in terms of the race, gender, or class of the narrators.
Veteran Narratives and the Collective Memory of the Vietnam War is a landmark study of the cultural heritage of the war in Vietnam as presented through the experience of its American participants. Crossing disciplinary borders in ways rarely attempted by historians, John A. Wood unearths truths embedded in the memoirists’ treatments of combat, the Vietnamese people, race relations in the United States military, male-female relationships in the war zone, and veterans’ postwar troubles. He also examines the publishing industry’s influence on collective memory, discussing, for example, the tendency of publishers and reviewers to privilege memoirs critical of the war. Veteran Narratives is a significant and original addition to the literature on Vietnam veterans and the conflict as a whole.

Описание: By April 1945, Allied troops of both America and the Soviet Union had established control over Germany and German-occupied Poland. General Dwight D. Eisenhower ordered the liberation of the concentration camps. The liberating soldiers were shocked beyond imagination at what they saw in these camps. Here, twenty-one Texas Liberators speak compellingly in their own words.

Описание: From 1969 to 1974 Ehrhart was just Passing Time. His reentry into the ""world"" began with his enrollment as a 21-year-old freshman (and token Vietnam vet) at Swarthmore College. At first simply trying to bury his past, Ehrhart slowly if inexorably came to understand what happened to him, and why, in Vietnam.

Описание: In this literary history of early American veterans, Benjamin Cooper reveals how soldiers and sailors from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War demanded, through their writing, that their value as American citizens and authors be recognised. Relying on an archive of veteran authors, Cooper situates their perspective against a civilian monopoly in defining American citizenship and literature.

Описание:
"The immigration officer at the airport in Saigon slid my passport over the scanner at his desk. After consulting his monitor, he remarked in English, 'Welcome back, Lieutenant.' I answered in Vietnamese, 'Thank you, Captain.' Our eyes met. He dipped his head and smiled. I entered his country, stamped passport in hand, exhilarated at what lay ahead." -Vietnam, Full Circle.
Forty years after serving as the only American combat adviser in a 500-man Vietnamese infantry battalion, Dockery returns to Vietnam as a volunteer. Living for a decade in Saigon, he works with clergy, students, street children, and Vietnamese veterans, gaining striking insights into how both he and Vietnam have transformed since the war.
In clear, polished prose, Vietnam, Full Circle builds on Dockery's previous book Lost in Translation (Random House, 2003), which detailed his time as a 23-year-old in the war. Now returning to Vietnam as a man in his 60's, Dockery's unique perspective allows him to see the ways that ancient customs and modern practices, as well as North-South animosities, have forged the cultural, economic, and political landscape of the country as it is today. With a keen eye, a sense of humor, and an inquisitive outlook, Dockery builds a life in the very place he'd long ago left behind. Appreciating anew the heart and soul of its people, he discovers that it's never too late in life to fall in love.
Barbara Child put her heart and soul into a letter to her partner, Alan Morris, while he was at the cottage they shared in Florida and she was away at school in California. He was a Vietnam War veteran, and she was taking a seminary course on war--in particular, the Vietnam War. She turned in her letter as a term paper for the course, calling it "An Open Letter to a Vietnam Veteran." A little more than two years later, the war finally took its toll on Alan. He put a Colt .45 to his head and pulled the trigger. Barbara read part of her letter as the eulogy at his memorial service.
That letter led to one thing, then another. Eventually, Barbara began analysis with a Jungian psychologist and shared the letter with him. She began talking more and more about Alan. She began writing more and more about Alan. From those writings came this book.
The book gives a partner's-eye view of post-traumatic stress and moral injury relentlessly taking their toll on the body, mind, and soul of a veteran who served as a medic in the Vietnam War. The book also shows how Jungian dream work with an expert, caring analyst can bring forth memories and the meaning of memories both sought and unsought. Ultimately, this book is both a labor of love and an impassioned outcry on behalf of all victims of war, whatever their part in the suffering.
Описание: The medical and psychological legacies of the Vietnam War are major and continuing issues for veterans, their families and the community, yet the facts about the impact of Agent Orange, post-traumatic stress disorder and other long-term health aspects are little understood. The Long Shadow sets the record straight about the health of Vietnam veterans and reveals a more detailed and complex picture. Profiling the stories of the veterans themselves, this comprehensive and authoritative book is a pioneering work of history on the aftermath of war. It takes a broad approach to the medical legacies, exploring the post-war experiences of Vietnam veterans, the evolution and development of the repatriation system in the post-Vietnam decades and the evolving medical understanding of veterans’ health issues. The first comprehensive and authoritative history of the medical legacies of the Vietnam War. This pioneering work from an esteemed historian sets the record straight on the aftermath of the Vietnam War. Foreword by Vietnam veteran and former Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove.
