As a journalist and soldier with the 25th Infantry Division, riding armored personnel carriers into rice paddies, engaging in night time sweeps of the jungle, Sgt. Peter Langlois chronicles the smells, sights, and sounds during some of the darkest days of the Vietnam war from 1968 - '69. He would return home to a nation still protesting the war in which his younger sister, Annette, had walked to class behind National Guardsmen marching across the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus. Their correspondence and her poetry offer a unique perspective of the war in Vietnam and social change happening at home. Together, they share what was learned and what was lost.
“… There is no better way to understand how the Vietnam War impacted an entire generation than to read these eloquent letters and poems… they lead us to understand how the war continues to reverberate in our hearts and lives.” -- Ruth W. Crocker, author of Those Who Remain: Remembrance and Reunion After War

“…It’s a riveting, heart-breaking, read, and I couldn’t put it down.” -- Robin Chapman, author of The Only Home We Know
