Philip F. Napoli

4.9/5 (22243 ratings)

Description:A collection of heartrending oral histories that topples assumptions about the people who served in VietnamThe Vietnam War was a defining moment for a generation of Americans. But for years myths and prejudices about its veterans have dominated our country’s consciousness. Bringing It All Back Home introduces us to the individuals behind this difficult time in our nation’s history. In the spirit of Tom Brokaw’s The Greatest Generation, Philip F. Napoli’s collection of oral histories from New York’s Vietnam vets humanizes the men and women who sacrificed for our country in a deeply troubling war. Challenging the view that Vietnam veterans were irreversibly damaged or disabled by their experiences, Napoli shares the stories of soldiers who witnessed death and destruction on the battlefield and returned home seeking to understand what they had endured. Overcoming adversity, a great many of them would go on to lead ambitious lives of public service. The memories of these men and women—including a nurse who went on a hunger strike to promote peace while working at a hospital aiding both soldiers and Vietnamese citizens; a paratrooper whose experiences on the battlefield left him with emotional scars that led to violence and homelessness; and a black soldier who achieved an unexpected camaraderie with his fellow servicemen in racially tense times—put a human face on the historical record.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
