In this collection of more than 200 letters, they share their first impressions of the rigors of life in the bush, their longing for home and family, their emotions over the conduct of the war, and their ache at the loss of a friend in battle. Poignant in their rare honesty, the letters from Vietnam are \"riveting,... extraordinary by [their] very ordinariness... for the most part, neither deep nor philosophical, only very, very human\" (Los Angeles Times). Revealing the complex emotions and daily realities of fighting in the war, these close accounts offer a powerful, uniquely personal portrait of the many faces of Vietnam's veterans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49679882846448,"sku":"NEW0393323048","price":27.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/dear-america-letters-home-from-vietnam-by-edelman-bernard","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
