Thompson's Colors of War \u0026 Peace","description":"Edgar Tiffany has written this book about a book, a very fine book, a very fine book about Vietnam, a very fine book about the pinnacle of combat in Vietnam and an even finer book about the plateau of the post-Vietnam experience. As \u003ci\u003eColors of WAR \u0026amp; PEACE\u003c\/i\u003e was described in its publication release, Thompson's tale is a pastiche of stories spanning the long divide between chaos and community. Assigned to Top Secret, Studies and Observation Group (SOG) during the Vietnam War, Thompson returned home to school, family and career. Convinced that his Vietnam chapter was closed, the author forgot and forged on. But the arc of his war had not reached its apogee. Driven by an addiction for risk and desire to reorder his war, the author wrote these stories of his inexorable fall. Tiffany now illuminates these powerful and intimate stories of how memories, once buried, rise again from the dead like a phoenix with an excavation befitting the gravediggers of Laos. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdgar Tiffany, the author of \u003ci\u003eAudie Murphy In Saigon, \u003c\/i\u003e takes a microscope to D.M. Thompson's \u003ci\u003eColors of War \u0026amp; Peace: A Collection of Short Stories, \u003c\/i\u003eand you may never think of exegesis in the same light again after reading this critical history. D.M. Thompson and Edgar Tiffany served together in the 11th Special Forces Reserves (Airborne) in the late 70's and bonded over coincidences of service in the Army, combat in Vietnam, and interests in certain kinds of writing going on over the last half century. These coincidences led Tiffany to a deep analysis of Thompson's Vietnam, America and his interpretations of them. The writer, David L. Robbins, said of \u003ci\u003eColors\u003c\/i\u003e, \"The way home from war is a long and improbable odyssey. Thompson, a soldier of deep experience with combat and unending search for peace, renders this collection of stories with immense and singular intimacy ... every word fiercely crafted by a strong hand, recalled with an unflinching eye.\" The reader is in for a roller coaster ride, several parachute drops and (gun) barrels of laughter, sometimes the kind that can make you cry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSTRAP IN FOR THE RIDE!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edgar Tiffany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218127800\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edgar Tiffany\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.47d","brand":"Edgar Tiffany","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800840745215,"sku":"9798218127800","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hues-of-green-edgar-tiffany-9798218127800","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
