War and American Life - Reflections on Those Who Serve and Sacrifice by James Wright
An engaging collection of essays focusing on American veterans. Cannons in the Park is a book of essays and reflections by celebrated historian and former marine James Wright, who has been active as an advocate, teacher, and scholar. Featuring both previously published pieces and new essays, the book considers veterans in America and the ways in which our society needs better to understand who they are and what they have done on the nation's behalf-and the responsibilities that follow this recognition.
"There have been hundreds of books written about the Vietnam War, but this is among the most powerful and heartbreaking" * Booklist * "This important investigation of the Vietnam War and its effects on an entire generation will appeal to both Vietnam-era specialists and general readers." * Library Journal (starred review) *
James E. Wright is president emeritus of Dartmouth College. He is the author, most recently, of Those Who Have Borne the Battle: A History of America's Wars and Those Who Fought Them and Enduring Vietnam: An American Generation and Its War.
