Publisher's Note The award-winning author of Mountains Beyond Mountains reminisces about his own life, in a unromanticized profile of a young man coming of age during the Vietnam War, chronicling his experiences as a former ROTC intelligence officer in command of a motley group of enlisted men on assignment in Vietnam.
