Overview

A classic, must-listen Vietnam war memoir The classic Vietnam war memoir, ...and a hard rain fell is the unforgettable story of a veteran's rage and the unflinching portrait of a young soldier's odyssey from the roads of upstate New York to the jungles of Vietnam. Updated for its twentieth anniversary with a new afterword on the Iraq War and its parallels to Vietnam, John Ketwig's message is as relevant today as it was twenty years ago. ""A magnetic, bloody, moving, and worm's-eye view of soldiering in Vietnam, an account that is from the first page to last a wound that can never heal. A searing gift to his country.""--Kirkus Reviews ""Solidly effective. He describes with ingenuous energy and authentic language that time and place.""--Library Journal ""Perhaps as evocative of that awful time in Vietnam as the great fictions . . . a wild surreal account, at its best as powerful as Celine's darkling writing of World War One.""--Washington Post
