Dominoes And Marbles: A Young Man's Life And Times In Peace And War

Fifty years ago Kerry White was trying to readjust to civilian life after going to war as a National Serviceman, working in a bank office on a university campus as the war continued badly for the South, the US and its allies, and as students ramped up protests. This is a young man's story based on memory, reflection and imagination: going to that war in Vietnam, later reflecting on his upbringing in a country town, the life of the people before him, his family's faith, his father's death, boarding school, a bank job and rugby, National Service call-up ... After the war he is expected to return to 'normal' life while the war goes on and the headlines confront him every day ? and night ? and demonstrations against the conflict rage. It is a dysfunctional time. Through his story music is a common thread apart from the conflict within.
