About This Item
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Pocket Books, 1986. Mass Market Paperback. Near Fine. First Edition. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Rare book. Collectible. I set out to write a book. It was 1982, fourteen years after I had last set foot in Vietnam, and thirteen years after I returned to The World. I had a family and a career. I'd never written more than an occasional letter to the editor in my life. My twisted insides had spawned ulcers. The nightmares were more frequent. I needed to get Vietnam out into the open, but I couldn't talk about it. Not after all those years. Thus begins John Ketwig's powerful memoir of the Vietnam War. From the country roads of upstate New York to the jungles of Vietnam, and finally to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., .and a hard rain fell is a gripping and visceral account of one young man's struggle to make sense of his place in a world gone mad. 336 pages. Some light rubbing on top & bottom of spine and some places on outside edges. Spine is creased. And a small crease on upper right corner of front cover..
Synopsis
The classic Vietnam war memoir, ...and a hard rain fell is the unforgettable story of a veteran’s rage and the unflinching portrait of a young soldier’s odyssey from the roads of upstate New York to the jungles of Vietnam. Updated for its 20th anniversary with a new afterword on the Iraq War and its parallels to Vietnam, John Ketwig’s message is as relevant today as it was twenty years ago.
