VIETNAM--CURSE OR BLESSING

John L. Steer is far more then a statistic from the war no one wanted. John was almost another tag on a body bag, becuase of an American bomb that was called in on his company mistakenly.

Only nineteen years old, he returned to the States with his right arm missing, and a leg so badly wounded the doctors feared further amputation.

When the veterans came home from Vietnam there were no ticker-tape parades or banner headlines. John's home town welcome from the war was jeers and obscenities yelled at him in the high school auditorium where he spoke.

John was constantly ridden with guilt because he survived and his friends died. Four years of psychiatric care...hopelessness, despair, anger, hate, revenge, and violence permeated his every waking hour, and constant fear and tormenting nightmares continued until he met "The Great Physician."

Finally the story is told! This book is a must for every American who wants to know what really happened in Vietnam.
