In this narrative, the author weaves accounts of his combat experiences with thoughtful analysis, self-examination, and his readings from Homer to the Mahabharata to Jung. He talks frankly about how he is haunted by the face of the young North Vietnamese soldier he killed at close quarters and how he finally finds a way to make peace with his past. He discusses the daily contradictions that warriors face in the grind of war, where each battle requires them to take life or spare life, and where they enter a state he likens to the fervor of religious ecstasy. He also underscores the need for returning veterans to be counseled properly. 600 10 $a Marlantes, Karl $0 (DLC)no2010010196 650 0 $a Combat $x Psychological aspects $0 (DLC)sh 85028793 650 0 $a War $x Moral and ethical aspects $0 (DLC)sh 85145120 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $v Personal narratives, American $0 (DLC)sh2008113202 650 0 $a Soldiers $x Psychology $0 (DLC)sh2010114070 650 0 $a Archetype (Psychology) $0 (DLC)sh 85006538 650 0 $a Veterans $x Psychology $0 (DLC)sh 85142973 650 0 $a Veterans $x Social aspects $x Social aspects $0 (DLC)sh 85142973 650 0 $a Rites and ceremonies $x Therapeutic use $0 (DLC)sh 85114211 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Veterans $z United States $v Biography $0 (DLC)sh2010117862 650 0 $a Veterans. $0 (DLC)sh 85142973 650 0 $a Veterans $z United States $0 (DLC)sh 85142973 650 7 $a Veterans Resources $2 local. $0 (local)tlcaut4804938592240900 650 0 $a Biography $0 (DLC)sh 85014152 655 7 $a Biographies $2 tlcgt 655 7 $a Autobiographies $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 952 $l BJPD251 $d 20211215021943.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2B2B4ADA5D7511ECBD31EEBF27ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
