Collateral Damage

Fiction. In these three linked novellas, Boatwright explores the lasting effects of the Vietnam War on people living in its shadow - both those who fought and those who didn't. These moving stories from one of American history's most divisive eras show us Vietnam may not be as far behind us as we think. Who goes to war and why - and the consequences for them and the people who love them - are issues that we still face today.

"These are engrossing stories told with considerable artistry, full of recognition and sympathy." - Diane Johnson
