This is a collection of heroic short stories centered on the experiences of three young men and their families during the Vietnam War. The book presents a 'coming-of-age' narrative that begins in the lush river valleys of upstate New York and on the streets of New York City and provides an insightful perspective of youth and innocence plunged into the crucible of war. As well, it transcends the "good guys, bad guys" portrayal of human conflict by presenting its readers with a depiction of good people, Americans and Vietnamese, caught up in unthinkably grim and difficult circumstances. The Violent Season celebrates the resilience of the human spirit and its ability to triumph over the horror and tragedy of war.
