“The Vietnam War was the boiling point of our generation. Young people of courage and commitment often chose opposite courses of action. So did some people whose motives were less noble. Even now some 50 years later there are still a lot of exposed and tender raw nerves. It’s something that makes that war difficult to write about. You never know when you are going to strike one of those nerves or even which side it might be on. Most of us went on to different lives afterwards. We may have married and raised children in such a different world but somehow we always seem to feel that we were defined by what happened back then.”
