YAVietnam series.
Rounding out this series, which chronicles the experiences of four young soldiers from Boston, is Beck's story of his deployment in the Air Force. Death as an inevitable outcome of war is treated realistically and with intensity. As with the previous installments, emotions run high as the characters come to terms with the Vietnam War and how it changes them, for better and for worse.
