Goodreads asked Michael G. Kramer:

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

Michael G. Kramer When serving with the Australian infantry during the Vietnam War in 1968, the man next to me was hit. the mystery to me is, "Why was he hit while I survived that action without any injury?" In an effort to understand that and to end the bullshit stories about the Vietnamese people, I wrote, "A Gracious Enemy" which tells the correct story from the points of view of both sides in that unjust and immoral conflict. As you may have gather from my answer toyour question, I am both an Australian Vietnam Veteran and I am very anti war!
