| Title | Hell, Healing and Resistance: Veterans Speak |
| Authors | Daniel Hallock; Thich Nhat Hanh; Philip Berrigan |
| Notes | Using interviews with dozens of veterans, plus his own time in the Marine Corps, Hallock sets out on a twofold mission: to indict the U.S. military and to help veterans struggling with emotional damage that came from having served. Veterans from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Persian Gulf War share the pain and guilt they've carried with them. The problem begins with the untruthful ways the military uses to sell itself: in years past, as a chance at manhood; today, a career move complete with college funds and skills training. Yet the reality, in the view of Hallock and the veterans, is that the military systematically brutalizes people, be they soldiers, enemies, or civilians. The book is also about how these soldiers re-connected with their consciences, allowing them to once again find life valuable. Controversial? It may be if traditional veterans' groups object to the military's portrayal here. Brian McCombie |
