Publisher's Synopsis
Silent Spring - Deadly Autumn of the Vietnam War (SSDAVW) may have been written too late to help the now aging Vietnam Veteran soldiers with their toxic exposures and many diverse illnesses, but it's not too late to help future generations of military personnel from encountering the same fate. SSDAVW is a real-life chronicle written in sorrow with hope for future generations of soldiers. It's a surreal voyage into everything the US government hasn't told you about the Vietnam War and doesn't want you to know. It's a book that cuts through to the heart of the circumstances and deadly chemicals used throughout the war. Many of the same toxic ingredients are still being used today not only on soldiers but all over America too. Even today as you read this write-up, the only thing that has changed is the names of what they are now calling the harmful compounds! This book is more than a memoir; it's an investigative journey into the conditions US service personnel served under, and the scars we carried with us for decades. The unfortunate truth is -as soldiers- we were expendable in Vietnam, and our soldiers will be expendable in the future if we do nothing to help protect our next generation of warriors!
