Each chose to participate. After coming home, these four veterans became prizewinning authors telling the war stories and life stories of soldiers and civilians. The four extended conversations included in Writing Vietnam, Writing Life feature revealing personal stories alongside candid assessments of each author's distinct roles as son, soldier, writer, and teacher of creative writing. 606 $aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xLiterature and the war 606 $aWar stories, American$xHistory and criticism 606 $aNovelists, American$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aWar correspondents$zUnited States$vBiography 615 0$aVietnam War, 1961-1975$xLiterature and the war. 615 0$aWar stories, American$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aNovelists, American 615 0$aWar correspondents 676 $a810.9/358 676 $a810.9358 700 $aHerzog$b Tobey C$01662475 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819862303321 996 $aWriting Vietnam, writing life$94019192 997 $aUNINA
