Going Back: A poet who was once a Marine returns to… door W.D. Ehrhart
In search of personal healing the author talks with many former adversaries in their austere country. He includes four poems with his reflections.
Ehrhart's account of his Vietnam experience is well written and the reader gets a good sense of what it was like to be in country. He also communicates well the conflicted feelings and emotions of a returning vet aware, even before he has completed his tour, that his service has had little effect and is not understood/appreciated by his countrymen or likely even the South Vietnamese. I did feel the book ended abruptly.
This is a moving pamphlet of a personal journey.
