When an eight-year-old boy's father goes to war, life changes. He learns much. About separation. About fear. About the way he sees his father. About the strength of his mother. About the consequences of war. Any war.
Our Vietnam is a short but powerful read about a child's perspective on war, and how that perspective changes - from when his father is away to when he comes home.
When we read books about war, we seldom hear from the children of those sent to serve. Our Vietnam is such a book - a collection of deeply personal memories; a rare and raw perspective.
