An engaging collection of essays focusing on American veterans.
War and American Life is a book of essays and reflections by
celebrated historian and former marine James Wright, who has been active
as an advocate, teacher, and scholar. Featuring both previously
published pieces and new essays, the book considers veterans in America
and the ways in which our society needs better to understand who they
are and what they have done on the nation's behalf--and the
responsibilities that follow this recognition.
