Overview

All Wars Are the Same War portrays the effects of war on the soldiers, the civilians caught in between, and the land. This collection of poems is divided into three sections. The first focuses on wars in the past up until the Iraq war, including the Civil War, both world wars, and the Russian Revolution from different viewpoints. The second section is about the author's own involvement in Vietnam as a field medic for the pacifist Quaker organization, American Friends Service Committee, which portrays the insanity of war like the novel, Mash. The third section is about his return, wounded, during the Anti-War movement and how vets were mistreated when they returned. The book ends with trying to resolve PTSD issues. It is a homecoming for the wounded and survivors, often seen from the victims' viewpoint. As the title says, all wars are the same war, and war seems endless.
