The Sweet Escape

This war novel is unlike any other. Interweaving first-hand accounts with fiction, the author irreverently exposes the incompetence of America"s political and military leaders as well as their futile attempts to wage war. Set in the madness of Vietnam in the mid-sixties, the book portrays a young Marine"s journey into insanity, beginning with his naive patriotic zeal and ending in his passionate lust for the thrill of the hunt and the kill in the jungles of Vietnam. Neither for the squeamish nor those who believe our leaders have the well-being of America"s youth at heart.
