Synopsis
In this memoir, former Senator Kerrey recalls his youth in Nebraska and his military service. While a Navy SEAL in Vietnam, Kerrey was involved in a firefight that resulted in civilian deaths. When that experience was reported in the press decades later, it reopened the debates about that war. Kerrey was also wounded in the war, and received the Congressional Medal of Honor. As he writes here, he was not the same person afterwards.

Publisher's Note
A former Nebraska governor and senator traces his experiences as a Navy SEAL in Vietnam, which led to his being awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, describing his sheltered childhood, his war-wound disability, and his search for the truth about his uncle's death in World War II.

Industry Reviews
"[Kerrey] tells his story with candor, simplicity and dignity, explaining himself with plain-spoken eloquence and near-mathematical precision. And the life he describes is a process of fearsome subtraction, beginning with the warm security of a Midwestern childhood and gradually removing its solaces one by one."
New York Times Book Review - Janet Maslin (06/10/2002)
