Mass market paperback. Zustand: Good. Second printing [stated]. x, 437, [1] pages. Small tear to front cover. Cover is worn and soiled. Some page discoloration. Includes Author's Note. Illustration. To read this book is to weep, to despair, and ultimately to cheer. The true story of Michael Mullen, a soldier killed in Vietnam, and his parents' quest for the truth from the US government: "Brilliantly done" (The Boston Globe). Drafted into the US Army, Michael Mullen left his family's Iowa farm in September 1969 to fight for his country in Vietnam. Six months later, he returned home in a casket. Michael wasn't killed by the North Vietnamese, but by artillery fire from friendly forces. With the government failing to provide the precise circumstances of his death, Mullen's devastated parents, Peg and Gene, demanded to know the truth. A year later, Peg Mullen was under FBI surveillance. In a riveting narrative that moves from the American heartland to the jungles of Vietnam to the Vietnam Veterans Against the War march in Washington, DC, to an interview with Mullen's battalion commander, Lt. Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, author C. D. B. Bryan brings to life with brilliant clarity a military mission gone horrifically wrong, a patriotic family's explosive confrontation with their government, and the tragedy of a nation at war with itself. Originally intended to be an interview for the New Yorker, the story Bryan uncovered proved to be bigger than he expected, and it was serialized in three consecutive issues during February and March 1976, and was eventually published as a book that May. In 1979, Friendly Fire was made into an Emmy Award-winning TV movie. Courtlandt Dixon Barnes Bryan (April 22, 1936 - December 15, 2009), better known as C. D. B.

He served in the U.S. Army in South Korea (1958-1960). He was mobilized again (1961-1962) for the Berlin Crisis of 1961 He was an intelligence officer.

His first novel, P. S. Wilkinson, won the Harper Prize in 1965. Bryan is best known for his nonfiction book Friendly Fire (1976). It began as an idea he sold to William Shawn for an article in The New Yorker, then grew into a series of articles, and then a book.

The reader continues with little choice but to wholeheartedly support the Mullens.…
