Publisher's Synopsis
Half a world from all he loves... a wife, daughter and the campus at Kent State... Richard Ames suffers the hell of war. Fondly he reflects on better times, campus traditions, a love affair that blossomed and friends he made. To avoid the draft one friend flees for Canada. Another radicalizes. A clash of cultures brews. Facing one last mission in Nam, Richard asks God to let him survive. During prime-time, this mission into Cambodia is broadcast by President Nixon sparking four days of protest at Kent, and four students are dead.
