Seller's Description:
Peter A. Davis (Jacket photograph) and Elizabeth K. Very good in Very good jacket. [6], 314 pages. The dust jacket is in a plastic sleeve. Recounts the story of a young combat medic in Vietnam and his never-ending battle with the memories and nightmares the war left him. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Kane served as a combat medic in Vietnam (1965-66). After a prolonged period of boozing, brawling, job-hopping and multiple car-wrecks, he realized he needed help, joined a group-therapy program at a VA hospital near Washington, D.C., and began the process of recovery. In 1985 he achieved a profound catharsis by taking part in the Welcome Home Parade in Washington, D.C., visiting the Wall on the Mall and mingling with men he knew in Vietnam. It took him some 20 years to come back from the war, and the story of how he did it is memorable and moving. Kane has produced a memoir that expresses grief for the dead and survivor's guilt. Gerard "Rod" Kane was a veteran of the war in Vietnam whose searing experiences of jungle combat in the early months of the war became the subject of an acclaimed memoir published 25 years later. Mr. Kane was the author of "Veterans Day: A Vietnam Memoir, " published in 1990, a book that chronicled his bloody year in Vietnam in 1965 as a 19-year-old Army combat medic and the years of alcoholism, drug abuse, anger, despair, incarceration and hospitalization that followed. He began writing his story in the early 1980s, after drunken driving arrests and thoughts of suicide led him to check himself into a Veterans Administration hospital, where he discovered that putting his story down on paper was a form of therapy that helped him confront the demons that continued to plague him. Mr. Kane was born in Utica, N.Y., and joined the Army in 1964. The following year, as a medical corpsman with the 1st Air Cavalry Division, he was at the Ia Drang Valley, where U.S. helicopters first ferried large units of troops into combat and U.S. commanders became committed to a "war of attrition" with search-and-destroy missions as the primary tactic. Mr. Kane became known in his unit as "Doc." When his enlistment was up, Mr. Kane became active in Vietnam Veterans Against the War, and he came to Washington in 1971 as part of a protest in which veterans threw down their military medals on the steps of the Capitol. He remained in Washington afterward, but he could not live down the Vietnam experience. He got into a Vietnam veterans support group, which he said felt like home to him. He had been writing down his thoughts, and he showed his writing to a counselor who encouraged him to continue. He stopped doing drugs and alcohol, entered a treatment program for his lung condition at the National Institutes of Health and went to college, graduating from the University of the District of Columbia. For eight years, he worked on his book.
