The Second War is a poignant tale that depicts the two wars that soldiers fight-one on the battlefield and the other upon their return to society. John fights both wars as a soldier in the Vietnam War and upon his return home. While he fights the war against alcohol, divorce, and suicide, he meets Mary, an anti-war protestor who has also faced the same struggles as John. Together, they embark on a journey to love, forgiveness, and hope. Filled with conversations that are raw and honest, The Second War tells the stories of soldiers as they are told--with half sentences, slang, and explosive words. Thomas L. Trumble's must-read book depicts the heart-wrenching experiences of soldiers as they navigate their way through the complexities of life after war. With themes that are relevant and relatable, this book is a moving and powerful tribute to those who have fought and continue to fight for their country. "The Second War is an evocative and moving novel of a veteran's homecoming after his tour in Vietnam, one written by an author with a strong and authentic voice. The non-conventional plot unfolds in a series of episodes in the form of military style spot reports covering familiar readjustment issues that include divorce, alcohol abuse, survivor guilt, intrusive flashbacks, suicide, PTSD, and recovery therapy. What sets The Second War apart from other war novels is a collective poignancy, the way the author captures so many of the shared sentiments of our own homecomings, some comic, others sad. As the novel progresses the reader has the sense that this author has traveled great distances emotionally and spiritually, given the haunting power of his writing which lingers on long after the reading is done. I highly recommend The Second War." -Dan Guenther, Vietnam Veteran and former Captain, United States Marine Corps, author of the award-winning novel, Glossy Black Cockatoos.
