Waiting For An Army To Die: The Tragedy Of Agent Orange (1989) - Plot & Excerpts
I read this book as a teenager. It made me so sad. My father was in Vietnam, as was the fathers of so many people.This book impacted me greatly. I feel, even to this day, that our goverment really has no respect for our military. They certainly didn't then and I am not sure that they do at this time either.When I see news shows about what happens with veterans of more recent wars, I think of this book and wonder if they are really treated any better?It makes me angry to think how these men were impacted, the diseases they know of and all of the things that they don't know about. This is not the best review, sorry. This book discusses what Vets knew because of experience and found out later for sure, thier own government allowed a chemical agent to be sprayed where they were living and fighting and years later, the veterans found themselves all suffering from similar ailments, ranging from prostate cancer to infertility to many others incredibly similar ailments. The government of course, denied that there was anything wrong with these men for years. Hence the title.I read this book YEARS ago however, its sad, disturbing content is still with me.
