Black Virgin Mountain: A Return to Vietnam
by Larry Heinemann

In 1967 Larry Heinemann was sent to Vietnam as an ordinary soldier. It was the most horrific year of his life, truly altering him--and his family--forever. In his powerful memoir, Heinemann returns to Vietnam, riding the train from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh city and confronting the memories of his war year. Black Virgin Mountain confirms Heinemann's legendary plain-spoken reputation as one of the essential chroniclers of our war in Vietnam.

"It took bravery for me to read "Black Virgin Mountain". The reader faces the reality of modern warfare. Larry Heinemann tells the truth about what we did in Vietnam and the consequences to the Vietnamese and to ourselves. He exults in describing how things work. In electrifying language, he communicates the exhilaration, unique to the once-combat soldier, of simply being, still, alive. "
--Maxine Hong Kingston, author of "The Woman Warrior
