• Sommario/riassunto: Chaplain James D. Johnson chose to accompany his men, unarmed, on their daily combat operations. This is his chronicle of Vietnam and the aftermath of war, of his coming to terms with his post-traumatic demons, and his need for healing and cleansing which led him to revisit Vietnam years later.
