(Book)

"This short novel, based on a true story, will draw you into the life of a young innocent and naive man, who goes to war in Southeast Asia. Journey with him as he is swallowed up by a sea of his own emotions. YOu will be taken away with him as the unspeakable horrors of war passed before his eyes. Walk with him thorugh the villages and rice paddies of the first half of his tour and see how he handles the tragedy of his war. Because of his wounds that he suffers, he is transported to a hospital in Japan, where a softer side of him is awakened. He becomes infatuated with a Japanese girl. Sit with them as he receives from her the medicine that he so desperately needs; which cannot be contained in the medicine bottle. After his wounds are healed he returns to his company only to find that this god of war had taken many sacrifices and hostages, while he was gone. The rekindling of his emotions, and his heart wrenching roller coaster ride may bring you to tears. War has no timeline. Our servicemen today are experiencing the same emotions as Bob had almost fifty years ago. This heartfelt read is just as real today as it was decades ago"--,Back cover.
