About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

In the tradition of Catch 22 and MASH comes the most honest, refreshing story about the Vietnam era that's ever been written. This book may change everything you thought you knew about a generation torn apart by the war in Vietnam and the military draft. Read the poignant, irreverent story of one GI who hated the war, and later suffered the scorn of those who connived to avoid military service. A must-read for all who lived during those tumultuous times, and for everyone who wants a better understanding of how the Vietnam War continues to affect all our lives today.

Deftly constructed at 152 pages, Why Didn't You Have To Go To Vietnam, Daddy?: Once Upon A Time In A Dream is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the War category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, Why Didn't You Have To Go To Vietnam, Daddy? meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $11.95.

About the Author

Steve Wilken served in the US Army during the turbulent years 1969-71, including 13 months stationed at Long Binh, Vietnam. He later graduated from the University of Texas-Arlington in 1975 with a BA in History and Political Science. He wrote this book in 2007 when events brought back memories that he no longer wished to suppress. He hopes that telling his story now, even at this late date, will help a younger generation understand the forces that shaped their parents' lives.
