<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Originally published in 1985 by MacMillan"--T.p. verso.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>A classic, must-read Vietnam war memoir</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>A magnetic, bloody, moving, and worm's-eye view of soldiering in Vietnam, an account that is from the first page to last a wound that can never heal. A searing gift to his country.--<em>Kirkus Reviews</em></p><p>Solidly effective. He describes with ingenuous energy and authentic language that time and place.--<em>Library Journal</em></p><p>Perhaps as evocative of that awful time in Vietnam as the great fictions...a wild surreal account, at its best as powerful as Celine's darkling writing of World War One.--<em>Washington Post</em></p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>John Ketwig was sent to Vietnam in September 1967 and completed his tour a year later. His account was originally published in 1985 to tremendous acclaim. John currently lives in New Jersey with his wife, Carolynn.
