Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This Pulitzer Prize-winning memoir written 'with simplicity and candor, with touches of spontaneous humor' is a moving story of a man born into a proud military legacy who struggles to rebuild his world after the Vietnam War has shattered his body and his ideals. (The New York Times Book Review)Lewis B. Puller, Jr.the son of "Chesty" Puller, a hero of World War II and the Korean War and the most decorated marine in the corps historygrew up in a family whose strongest tradition was that of serving one's country. Upon graduation from college at the height of the Vietnam War, young Lewis almost inevitably joined the Marine Corps, and his firm intention of commanding infantry troops was fulfilled with a tour of duty in Vietnam in the summer of 1968. A few months later, he returned home to his wife and soon-to-be-born child missing his left leg above the knee, his right leg at the torso, most of his left hand, and a thumb and a finger of his right hand.Lewis Puller would never walk again, though he would complete law school, serve on President Ford's Clemency Board, and run for Congress from Virginia. He would also live with nightmares about his wounding in Vietnam, daytime horrors of feeling that he had been "used up and discarded" and a growing dependence on alcohol.

Lewis Puller has overcome physical and psychological obstacles that few have faced: fewer still have told their stories more openly, more honestly, or more devastatingly. …
