Unpopular War: Story About Paratrooper In Vietnam War: The Battle In Vietnam

Are you concerned about the loss of war? Touching stories about intimacy and friendship during the war? Please read this book.

With the backdrop of the Vietnam conflict, this book is a powerful memoir about trauma, courage, devotion, and love at a time when American society was tearing itself apart and blaming a military that was more victim than a perpetrator of the violent forces wracking the nation. Indeed, Vietnam changed us all -- especially Linda Patterson.

A story 52 years in the making, this book is set in San Mateo, California, in 1968. The author, then 26 years old, receives a letter from her 18-year-old brother Joe -- a cry for help from a paratrooper caught in the middle of an unpopular war. News of the antiwar protests has been plummeting the morale of Joe's combat company of 130 paratroopers. In desperation, he turns to Linda to find a way to let these young, courageous soldiers know that they've not been rejected by the country they love.
