Anthology of Broken Pieces (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781456877408)

-Whoever said that 'You can't go back' never contemplated the results of war. It's still an intrinsic part of my mental fabric. Often my nightmares carry me back to a place that I detest, a place called Vietnam. It fractures my ego by wafting me along the gentle breeze that turns fantasy into horror. It slams me back into the jungles of my mind and once I'm there I can't seem to extricate myself from the bloody legacy of that brutal war. This book is a story that follows my struggles through the mine-infested, ragged edge of fear. The book carries the reader into the places in my mind that mere words can never explain. This book is an anthology of the rude and brutal images as seen through the eyes of a naive, innocent 20 year old, one who hadn't even tasted life yet. The book takes a look at what war was like as it evolves from beauty into horror, into the blood-stained shadows of the vicious and mind altering images that once housed an indomitable spirit, fracturing my soul with war torn images of Vietnam. I sit here, glaring through the windows of sadness at a war I fought so many years ago, and it left me with way too much mental baggage---Publisher description.
