A collection of nterviews with Vietnam veterans and their family members. They explain as nothing else can the emotional consequences of wartime experiences. Many of these interviewees are now in prison as a result of the substance abuse or violence that characterizes PTSD.

This thought-provoking collection provides much insight on the death penalty. The US stand on the death penalty, in light of US leadership in human rights, appears to be a contradiction to the rest of the world. The methods of execution are sometimes extremely painful and not quick. An overwhelming percentage of those on death row are impoverished and would not be there if they had other resources besides ineffective court-appointed counsel. These and other important issues are poignantly addressed.
