...and a hard rain fell

Book Description

A classic, must-read Vietnam war memoir about the unforgettable story and unflinching portrait of a young soldier's journey from the roads of upstate New York to the jungles of Vietnam. 

…and a hard rain fell, has been updated for its 20th anniversary with a new afterword on the Iraq War and its parallels to Vietnam. John Ketwig's message is as relevant today as it was twenty years ago.

"A magnetic, bloody, moving, and worm's-eye view of soldiering in Vietnam, an account that is from the first page to last a wound that can never heal. A searing gift to his country."—Kirkus Reviews

"Solidly effective. He describes with ingenuous energy and authentic language that time and place."—Library Journal

"Perhaps as evocative of that awful time in Vietnam as the great fictions...a wild surreal account, at its best as powerful as Celine's darkling writing of World War One."—Washington Post
