Chuck Dean

Chuck Dean is the author of numerous books varying in style and theme. He served as a U.S. Army paratrooper during the Vietnam War, and through that experience was led to write his first several books addressing the transitional issues veterans struggle with when coming home from a war zone. Chuck's first book published in 1987, “Nam Vet: Making Peace with Your Past”—with over two million in print—continues to help Veterans with readjustment issues. “Some Came Home: A Story of Returning”, is a fictional portrayal of many of the issues veterans are challenged with. His recent books, “Gaibian; The Change" and ”By Way of War" are dramatic reads of impacting times on entire cultures.

(“‘Nam Vet’ is an intensely personal book in which Dean bares his life and soul. Because of that, it is one of the more practical, helpful and timely books to hit the shelves in the past few years.” —Charles Edgren, El Paso Herald-Post)

In 2008 Chuck was the recipient of the prestigious Hirsch Foundation Leadership Award for his writing and work with veterans and active military. Today he writes a regular column for The Vegas Voice newspaper entitled “Vet 2 Vet”, and continues to contribute to the veteran community through his writing. Today he lives with his wife Renee in both Las Vegas, Nevada and Nanning, China.
