Twenty-three powerful, moving, angry and wise essays published over a period of 14 years in periodicals as diverse as WIN magazine, Present Tense, Gallery, the Virginia Quarterly Review, and the Philadelphia Inquirer Magazine. Subjects range from South Africa to Central America, the United States to the Soviet Union, all bound together by the lingering physical, psychological, political and intellectual sensibilities the author first developed as a young enlisted Marine during the Vietnam war. Four of the essays deal with Ehrhart's second return to Vietnam in 1990.
