Echoes of Combat: Trauma, Memory, and the Vietnam War

Using psychological trauma as its guiding metaphor, Echoes of Combat is the first book to explore the parallels between the healing of Vietnam veterans and Americans' collective recovery from the war. Drawing on such diverse sources as films, novels, television series, political speeches, monuments, medical texts, and inside accounts of the men's movement, Fred Turner shows how the healing narratives of individuals have allowed us to transform our recollections of our aggression in Vietnam into tales of national sacrifice.Fred Turner is the author of 'Echoes of Combat: Trauma, Memory, and the Vietnam War' with ISBN 9780816635498 and ISBN 0816635498.
