So Long Vietnam (Thirty Second Street Raccoon)

Friday, May 23 at 6:30pm

The year 1970 was a time of great demoralization for the U.S. Army in Vietnam. The author served in the Army during that time and listened carefully to the stories of his fellow soldiers returning from the Vietnam War. Much of this powerful book is based on their personal experiences, as well as actual events. 

Stephen Tobias
