A clean, unmarked and solid copy which appears unread. xxvi, 389 pages. "Handling the closeness of death gives Life After Vietnam an urgency which transcends this particular conflict. Delores Kuenning's book will help anyone who suffers from unexpected tragedy realize how to move ahead, how to cope. Hundreds of organizations have sprung up to help U.S. veterans of the war in Vietnam. For many the pain of this war will never end, nor will the pain of the War in the Gulf end easily for others. Each chapter of Kuenning's book deals with a particular kind of loss suffered by veterans and their families physical, emotional, chemical, sexual, spiritualit's all here. If your affliction isn't covered, this book will give enough clues to know where to start a search for healing. Some may wonder what makes Vietnam veterans different than their fathers who faced the "duration plus six months" of World War Two. A chapter here explains the unique psychological after-effects of the Indochina war, on U.S. veterans and their families. Another chapter deals with spiritual recovery, compound grief and memory healing. Not light reading, but essential stuff and, ounce-for-ounce, this book is cheaper and works better than booze."
