Overview: Groups

A place for those who served in Vietnam and their Families 34 books / 8 members / 9 posts Many who did not personally participate in the Vietnam War have also been afflicted with their own sense of tragedy, waste of life or they have an opinion on the politics of the times. This is a place for you to share the books you have read about Vietnam. What did you learn from them? If you are a Veteran from the war are you reading books about Vietnam? If you are the wife, daughter, husband or other family member of someone who is a Vietnam Veteran have you read books that helped you to understand their experience? Share those feelings and thoughts with us. Share with us those books that most touched you. Believe me, if you are intimately acquainted with someone from this war they WANT you to read such books. They are begging for others to comprehend what their life was like. Those who need to heal also need to discuss their experiences. Help to make this group help others by sharing in discussions!
