"Home to War is a superbly researched book that needed to be
written. It sets forth in compelling detail a whole other dimension
of America's tragic war in Vietnam, which, until now, has never
been completely captured."
-- General Harold G. Moore, author of We Were Soldiers Once . . .
and Young
"Home to War is an extraordinary achievement of research and
writing. Its eloquence and power will serve the cause of justice
for veterans, but also give to all Americans a sobering lesson
about war, peace, and broken promises. I hope it will be widely
read."
-- Howard Zinn, author of A People's History of the United
States
"Gerry Nicosia has an uncommon understanding of the struggle of
veterans to give meaning to their war and to redeem themselves.
Home to War is a powerful history of our times."
-- Gloria Emerson, National Book Award recipient for Winners and
Losers
"Home to War illuminates the efforts of the men who fought not just
in the jungles of Vietnam, but also when they returned to America.
We should be grateful to Gerry Nicosia for documenting this
struggle in a meaningful and heartfelt way."
-- Oliver Stone, of Platoon and Born on the Fourth of July
"Home to War for the first time puts together a history that has
been an intimate part of the lives of thousands of us in the
veterans' community over the past thirty years. Thanks to Gerald
Nicosia, these people and events are now preserved and will be
remembered."
-- Colonel David H. Hackworth, author of About Face
"Gerald Nicosia has written a history that we as a nation have not
faced. This book is a must-read if we are to understand the America
we have become."
-- Maxine Hong Kingston, author ofThe Woman Warrior
"Home to War is simply the best. Gerry Nicosia has written the
definitive story-read it and discover why the epoch of our war in
Vietnam still keenly reverberates from kitchen tables and porches,
newspapers and journals, as well as classrooms all across this
country."
-- Larry Heinemann, National Book Award recipient for Paco's
Story
"The voices and stories of these American veterans compel us to
confront the issues of the war and the question of why soldiers who
came home to peace could find none. The sense of loss and waste
that pervades Home to War
is overwhelming."
-- Duong Van Mai Elliott, author of The Sacred Willow
