Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In the late 1960's, Leo Flory was one of an entire generation of young Americans facing a personal moral dilemma; how to deal with the Vietnam war. Leo wanted to serve his country, but his parents were devoutly religious and opposed to killing. He didn't share his parents' views, but he respected them, and signed up-at his mother's behest-as a conscientious objector. He was recruited into the elite 101st Airborne as a Combat Medic where he soon saw plenty of combat (and quickly discovered he was not opposed to carrying his trusty M-16).

Nick's highly creative payback earns him a harsh sentence from the authorities.When a chance to walk out of the county jail presents itself, Nick doesn't give it a second thought-even though he has no idea where he is going or what he's going to do next. He soon learns that the perfect escape can't be rushed, and that the best way forward is On the Slow Lam.…
