I am completely emotionally drained having just finished "The Return." Powerful, well written with characters you can empathize with. I am one of the luckiest of my generation. I received my discharge from the U.S. Navy about six months before the Gulf of Tonkin fiasco that lead so many of my friends down that heart-wrenching road. I know people who went to Nam and came back in a box. I know people who went to Nam and came back with emotional scars that will never heal. I know people who fled to Canada and I know others who went to prison because they wouldn't go anywhere else. Reading Charles Sasser's book makes me realize, once again, how lucky I was.
