13 Moons Over Vietnam?1St Moon: Innocence

13 Moons over Vietnam - 1st Moon: Innocence Why another memoir on Vietnam? There are already hundreds of publications on the Vietnam War. 13 Moons over Vietnam captures a unique perspective of a soldier's experience of war, juxtaposing more than 150 stories 'between the lines' of 280 uncensored letters to his wife, who is pregnant with their first child. These stories, describing actual experiences, are conveyed with raw emotions of anxiety and fear, refuting the nonchalant tone of his correspondence home. The effect is a stark and unsettling contrast between what is written home and what actually happens. 13 Moons over Vietnam is organized as a series segmented by lunar cycles that symbolize the author's struggles with identity and faith as he confronts progressive incidents of social and emotional violence. Begin with the 1st Moon: Innocence, and witness a metamorphosis that spirals through a moral and spiritual minefield.
