This is the Conversation Forum for War and Protest - the US in Vietnam (1972-1975) Subject: Well done Posted Apr 18, 2002 by Sho (Elves and Sacrificing chickens worked! I'm wireless!)   Posting 1 I've now read all of these and I just wanted to say that it was just the sort of thing I've been looking for for ages. Clear, concise, to the point... everything. great.

I left h2g2 in a fit of anger before this series hit the front page and have only recently returned. These entries actually started life as a simple entry about Operation Dewey Canyon III, so my emphasis was on the protest movement - the bits about the war itself were added as a backdrop, to put the anti-war movement into its proper context. 0 Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Well done Posted Jul 24, 2003 by SrD This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 4 Hi, I would like to ask some more about your entry, hoping that You have time for answer ... 1. I felt that the description of the war was rather a background. Could You send some info on resources about the War in Vietnam (www or conventional books/papers) ? 2. I've learnt that this war had a big influence not only in USA, but also in the whole Western and Eastern world. Don't You eventually know any books/essays that write about it? (For example the war's influence on the prestige and fame of US Armed Forces, US Politics) 3. I don't know much about the american literature after the WWII. I read only Kesey, the 2 Kerouacs, Steinbeck. Could You mention some of the writers which wrote about Vietnam or about US after Vietnam? I would be very thankful, if You could help me. And if I can help You in anything, just write... (I know some about WWII, History of Europe (especially Hungary), and about continental law) Thanx for the message, Srd Read the First Reply to this Posting Subject: Well done Posted Jul 24, 2003 by Deidzoeb -=- Underguide A1103329 This is a reply to this Posting   Posting 5 There are a few books by Vietnam veteran Tim O'Brien that might interest you, SrD. He wrote a collection of short stories or vignettes titled "The Things They Carried" (possibly non-fiction or based on real events?), as well as a somewhat surreal novel titled "Going After Cacciato." Both of them deal with the war in Vietnam.
