Vietnam in American Literature (Twayne's Literature and Society Series) [Hardcover]

Philip H. Melling (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

YA-- This analysis of American prose on the Vietnam War from 1971 to the present is valuable for its extensive coverage of genres--reportage, novels, and veteran's narratives. In linking the writings to the Puritan heritage--an undertaking formulated for those with a personal calling embarked on a public mission--Melling speaks to an audience searching for unique insights as well as to those seeking glimpses into a wide variety of sources. Notes, references, and bibliographies make this an excellent source for serious students of American history.
