War and the Arc of Human Experience

In this book, an anthropologist sets his experiences as a teenager fighting in the Vietnam War within the larger sweep of American culture and society. When his daughter is born decades after he returned from war the violence of those experiences, long suppressed, emerges from the shadows.

In aceasta carte, un antropolog isi plaseaza experientele de adolescent care lupta in Razboiul din Vietnam in cadrul mai larg al culturii si societatii americane. Cand fiica lui se naste la zeci de ani dupa ce s-a intors din razboi, violenta acelor experiente, de mult inabusite, iese din umbra.
