Publisher's Synopsis
The Vietnam War was a long, costly and divisive conflict that pitted the communist government of North Vietnam against South Vietnam and its principal ally, the United States. It caused thousands of men to leave their wives and children to go to the army and join the war
The preservation of the sentiments and the history captured in the communications between Steven W. Martin, Captain U.S.M.C., and his wife, prompted the writing of this book. The correspondence between them tells a lot about America in the 1960s and the striking contrast between then and the days of 2020.
