Studying the holocaust of his immediate forebears and the VietNam / American War of his own experience, he has written a life-saving book. Courageously he faces the necessary questions: What do these terrible events mean? What is the history and truth of what happened, and keeps happening? Where are we now? Who are we? What will become of us?""
