Sommario/riassunto |
|
Jon Hovde's journey begins with despair and the struggle to stay alive and ends with hope and the inspiration to live. Left for Dead is a gripping memoir that not only recounts Hovde's recovery from injuries sustained in the Vietnam War, but recognizes the people who aided him-including the courageous medic who rescued him, a caring army nurse, and army chaplains. |
