Ron Kovic

"Ron Kovic, author of Born on the Fourth of July and one of the country's most powerful and passionate antiwar voices, completes his Vietnam Trilogy with this poignant, inspiring, and deeply personal elegy to America" --

A true story of innocence lost and courage found. Ron Kovic, a young volunteer for the Vietnam War, changed from being a zealous teen to an embittered veteran paralyzed from the mid-chest down. He returned to an environment vastly different from the one he left and struggled before emerging as a brave new voice for the disenchanted.
