Vietnam The Heartland Remembers. Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1987. First Edition. ISBN 0-8061-2062-2 Octavo (8.5 in. by 5.75 in.); 194pp.; author's signature with other signatures to free front endpaper; very good hardcover; very good dust jacket; dust jacket lightly bumped at extremities; name embossed to several pages. In this oral history thirty-three Oklahomans speak for heartland Americans who fouhht in the Vietnam War, and for those who waited, some or whom are still waiting, for their loved ones to come home, alive or in a body bag. No single political bent is stressed, and attempts to flavor the manuscript with dogma have been resisted. In the ranks are super patriots, reluctant warriors, gung ho marines, skeptics, embittered formed patriots, and humanists - whites, blacks, Indians, and Hispanics - men aned women, officers, and grunts. --Quote from dust jacket |
