From the Author:
Dear General Readers:
Thank you for reading The Second Tour. I hope you've gotten as much out of this book as I've gotten from having written it. And if you've reacted to it in any way whatsoever (negatively or positively), I would very much appreciate hearing from you. You can either place a reader's comment on Amazon or some other website, or you can email me at terry@trizzuti.com. If you wish you had never wasted time or money on it, please accept my apologies and consider donating your hard copy to your local library and/or your digital copy to the trash bin.
Dear Academicians:
Professors of Literature, History, Sociology, Social Work, Psychology, Political Science, Military Science, or other relevant disciplines (e.g., Creative Writing or Trauma, Religious, PTSD or Moral Injury Studies), who are interested in adopting The Second Tour for classroom use, please email terry@trizzuti.com to request a free review copy (no strings attached), and/or to discuss guest-speaker arrangements.
Thank you all very much for your support.
Terry
From the Inside Flap:
PRAISE FOR THE SECOND TOUR
"This is truth masquerading as fiction. Viet Nam is the scene. The players are members of Second Battalion of the 26th Marine Regiment. The Second Tour is that period of time between two realities, the then and the now. The secret is to find a way to accept one reality and live with another. Mr. Rizzuti has described his time in Viet Nam very accurately. It's one hell of a story. I hope he has worked over his First Tour and has it behind him. It is a heavy burden to carry alone. Welcome home!"

"This is one of those rare books that only by completing it and contemplating it can the reader internalize it and make it one's own. If someone lived in or grew up through these turbulent times then the style might be strikingly reminiscent of Procul Harum's undeclared anthem of the 60's, 'A Whiter Shade of Pale.'"
