In this gripping, beautifully written personal history, award-winning writer Rinker Buck chronicles Shane's death and his life, exploring its meaning for his family, his fellow soldiers, and the country itself. It is the story of an intelligent, gifted soldier who embodied the soul of today's all-volunteer warrior class; of the town of Powell, Wyoming, which had taken Shane into its heart; and of the Marine detail sent to deliver the news to the Childers family and the extraordinary connection that formed between them.</p> <p>At once an inspiring account of commitment to the military and a moving story of family and devotion, <i>Shane Comes Home</i> rises above politics to capture the life of a remarkable young man who came to symbolize the heart of America during a difficult time.</p> 407949 2005 Shane Comes Home total:8|4:5|3:3| 8 29 12 3 3 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sat Apr 18 19:57:11 -0700 2009 Sat Apr 18 20:00:51 -0700 2009 A dramatic story of the notification of his death.
