Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. First Edition. Type: Remainder First Edition Hardcover Book in Fine Condition with a Near Fine Dust Jacket. Ivory half-cloth with tan boards, very clean and unmarked, tight & solid, internals as new. The story of a community of American expatriate Vietnam veterans… - the men who wouldn't leave Southeast Asia and could not leave behind the people they had fought for and defended. Some were military heroes and remain unalloyed patriots. Some questioned or condemned the war and find their patriotism forever compromised by it. Some stayed behind in order to relive the best part of the war with girls, gold and Singha beer at smoky saloons. Others were moved to atone for the war with charity - educating Thai children, building hospitals for the Vietnamese, medical care in Laos--whatever the motivation, they all share the desire to do what many Americans don't want them to do: remember the Vietnam War. 228 pages. 9.75 x 6.5 inches. 2002, Free Press.

Hardback. It is finally time to come to terms with a generation of underappreciated, now middle-aged men: America's Vietnam veterans. In many ways they were no different from the men who left for Europe in 1917, or for Asia and Europe in 1942. They were young, freshly trained, scared yet determined soldiers. In Hard Men Humble,…Jonathan Stevenson introduces us to a fascinating community of expatriate Vietnam veterans -- the men who wouldn't or couldn't leave Southeast Asia, and could not leave behind the people they had fought and defended. Some were military heroes and remain unalloyed patriots. Some questioned or condemned the war and find their patriotism forever compromised by it. Some stayed behind in order to relive the best part of the war with girls, golf, and Singha beer at smoky saloons. Others were moved to atone for the war with charity -- educating Thai children, building hospitals for the Vietnamese, or providing medical care to Laotians they had befriended when soldiers. Whatever each man's motivation, the one attribute virtually all expat vets share is the desire to do what so many Americans don't want them to do: remember the Vietnam War. Hard Men Humble brings a vivid cast of characters to life: Major Mark Smith, a much bemedaled winner of the Distinguished Service Cross and former prisoner of war who works out of Bangkok relentlessly searching for MIAs; Ken Richter, once a Jersey City tough, who discovered discipline and honor in Special Forces and who now donates much of his earnings to Southeast Asian charities; Robert Taylor, a former Green Beret from Alaska who formed a bond with a Lao tribe with which he worked, and who founded a medical charity for them; and Greg Kleven, an Oakland-born Force Recon marine who lost faith in the war and in his country, descended into dissoluteness and self-destructive drinking, and believes that moving to Ho Chi Minh City saved his life. The expatriate Vietnam veterans are, ultimately, just like any other cross section of Americans: some are heroes, a few are knaves, and others are just ordinary men trying to make a living. Ironically, the very dismissal of Vietnam veterans in the United States has driven some of them to build a life abroad of greater imagination, adventure, benevolence, and fulfillment than they might have found at home. Whether or not Americans doubt the wisdom of their larger historical mission, Vietnam veterans risked their lives to serve their country. We owe them our gratitude. 2002, First edition, first printing. A near fine copy only marked by very light spotting to the top edge and a remainder mark on the bottom edge. The d/w is unclipped and also near fine with only light edge rubbing.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. xii, 228 pages. Illustrations. DJ is in a plastic sleeve. Contents are: The Veterans; Home Alone; Valor Transformed; Valor Denied; Valor in Protest; Valor Ignored; Valor Defended; and Our Own Buried Lives. The author of We Wrecked the… Place chronicles the moving and startling tale of twenty Vietnam veterans who have remained or returned to Southeast Asia to live amid the battlefields of their youth, seeking redemption and refusing to return to a nation that cannot accept the sacrifices they made. Jonathan Stevenson is senior fellow for U.S. defense and managing editor of Survival at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). He was previously professor of strategic studies at the U.S. Naval War College, and he has served as director for political-military affairs, Middle East and North Africa, on the National Security Council. He is the author of several books, including Thinking Beyond the Unthinkable: Harnessing Doom from the Cold War to the Age of Terror and "We Wrecked the Place": Contemplating and End to the Northern Irish Troubles. The veterans are Jim Agnew, Alan Dawson, Isreal Freedman, Izzy Freedman, Denis Gray, Eric Herter, Glenn Holdhaus, Jeff Johnson, Stan Karber, Greg Kleven, L. C. Linder, Bill Maddox, Jeff McLaury, Keith Mishne, Douglas Peterson, Pete Peterson, Ken Richter, Andre Sauvageot, Chuck Search, Mark Smith, Les Strouse, Robert Taylor, and Mac Thompson. Derived from a Kirkus review: From the editor of international-affairs journal Strategic Survey, a sympathetic and insightful survey of American veterans who have taken up residence in Southeast Asia. For various reasons, the men Stevenson profiles are unable to extricate themselves from the experience of Vietnam. Whether haunted by guilty memories of acts they considered war crimes, driven by a need to heal and reconcile, or motivated by affectionate respect for the Vietnamese, many of Stevenson's vets returned in search of a personal fulfillment they could not find in the US. The reasons range from mundane to complex. One man cannot stop remembering the fleshly pleasures of Bangkok. A highly decorated career Special Forces officer stays in Southeast Asia because he won't give up what he considers an honorable fight in a just cause. Others, horrified by the war and the way it was fought, or tortured by its appalling images, have spent years trying to come to terms with their experiences. Some are involved in charitable or relief work in Asia. One veteran, a former acquaintance of Dean Rusk's, runs assistance programs for the Vietnam Veterans of America Foundation from Hanoi. Another, alienated from American society, teaches English in Ho Chi Minh City. Some expatriates, more philosophical about the war, simply learned to like Vietnam and its people during their service; some pursue closer commercial ties between Vietnam and the US. While their reasons for their chosen exile and their opinions about the war's merit vary, Stevenson's vets commonly express anger and bitterness toward inept politicians and especially unappreciative fellow citizens. Without addressing the morality of the war itself, Stevenson argues that these men exemplified intrinsically important values of sacrifice, bravery, and fidelity to duty that the nation ignores at its peril in an increasingly dangerous world. A well-analyzed and evenhanded treatment of the survivors of America's most controversial conflict. Dan Bibb (jacket photograph) and Brendan Murphy (A (illustrator).
