Yet the complex ethical terrain of the conflict is remarkably under-explored, and the prodigioius poetic voice of its American participants remains largely unheard. In A Shadow on Our Hearts, Adam Gilbert rectifies these oversights by utilizing the vast body of soldier-poetry to examine the war's core moral issues. The soldier-poets provide important insights into the ethical dimensions of their physical and psychological surroundings before, during, and after the war. They also offer profound perspectives on the relationships between American soldiers and the Vietnamese people. From firsthand experiences, they reflect on what it meant to be witnesses, victims, and perpetrators of the war's violence. And they advance an uncompromising vision of moral responsibility that indicts a range of culprits for the harms caused by the conflict. Gilbert explores the powerful and perceptive work of these soldier-poets through the lens of morality and presents a radically alternative, deeply personal, and ethically penetrating account of the American war in Vietnam. -- Back cover. 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Literature and the war. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008113220 650 0 $a Vietnam War, 1961-1975 $x Moral and ethical aspects. 650 0 $a American poetry $y 20th century $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2007101081 650 0 $a Veterans' writings, American $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a War poetry, American $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010118165 611 27 $a Vietnam War (1961-1975) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01431664 650 7 $a American poetry. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807348 650 7 $a Ethics. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00915833 650 7 $a Veterans' writings, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01165843 650 7 $a War and literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170442 650 7 $a War poetry, American. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01170554 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 830 0 $a Culture and politics in the Cold War and beyond. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2017120393 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20181116040357.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B3070542840811E89478B85797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
