Raised in the shadow of his father, the war hero and Marine general
"Chesty" Puller, young Lewis Puller volunteered for the Vietnam War and
served with distinction as an infantry officer in his father's beloved Corps.
But when he tripped a booby-trapped howitzer round, triggering an
explosion that would take his legs, his career as a soldier ended -- and
the battle to reclaim his life began. Lewis B. Puller, Jr.'s Pulitzer
Prize-winning memoir is an unforgettable account of one man's struggle
to rebuild his world after the Vietnam War shattered his body and his
ideals. It is an eloquent tribute to the true meaning of patriotism and the
redemptive power of love.
