    Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Used Print on Demand. 199 Pages. Signed by the author on the title page. No other marks or stamps. This is a used Print On Demand book. This book tells the story of loves and lives dramatically impacted by the Vietnam War. It compares three couples, the soldiers who served, and the women who loved them. From the rice paddies of Vietnam, to Red Square in Moscow and MacDill AFB in Florida, the lives of the three men end in the bombing raid of a heavily fortified bridge in North Vietnam. The story follows the young widows who struggle to accept their new reality and rebuild their lives. This is not just another story about war; it is about heartfelt hopes and loves and dreams, and overcoming the consequences of war. Where fact ends and fiction begins is seamlessly interwoven to tell the story. The true part of the story begins in 1965 when an idealistic and patriotic 26-year old Air Force jet jockey is assigned to Ubon, Thailand for a 90-day tour of duty. Nearly two decades later, he finally comes home. From there the lives of the young widows from such divergent backgrounds, locales and motives converge through a series of twists and turns of fate. The story of this convergence is uniquely presented for the first time in any form of literature. You'll long remember the surviving characters and their conclusion that war is insanity and their hopes that there must be a better way to settle conflict. Dana Chwan is the surviving widow of an American serviceman who lost his life in the Vietnam war. She has been an outspoken advocate for the families of veterans and spokesperson for the POW/MIA issues that still smolder from a tragic chapter in American history.
