Description: *Between the Lines* is an imposing collection of photographs that not only captures the faces of those who visit the monument but the emotion, solitude, and ultimate spirit of healing that take place there.

The National Vietnam Veterans Memorial —The Wall— is the most visited memorial in the history of the United States. Throughout this book, Thomas F. Morrissey incorporates the "meditations" that have been left anonymously. He writes, "I have not photographed the events as a journalist-photographer, but rather I have focused on the feeling and spirit in the air emitting from the black, inscribed granite panels."

Never before has a book about the Vietnam Memorial covered such an extensive period of time and provided so broad a picture of the collective healing process of the nation.
Notes: Chiefly illustrations.
