Absorbing View of the Vietnam Era
By Future Boy
My favourite part of the book, by far, is watching Pamela transition from sweet, all-American girl into a hardened Vietnam War protestor. The details of how the protests escalated were riveting. This is the second third of the book. I was hoping though for at least one scene where Pamela meets Roger when he comes home from the war and she hugs him, and they talk about what happened to their relationship. But, perhaps it is not realistic to expect so. When people do decide to move on because of fundamental changes in their feelings about someone, they are usually brutal about it.
The first one-third and the last one-third of the book were interesting but didn't grab me the way the middle part of the book did. In the first part, Robert and Pamela envision a future together. It was sweet and if it weren't for the knowledge that Robert was heading off to war, I would have wondered where the "happy" part of the book was going. With the horrific spectacle of the Vietnam war coming up as part of the suspense, I agree the first one-third was necessary.
The last one-third was a little puzzling as it is not the usual climax that one expects at the end of a story like this. This is how Roger copes with his post-traumatic stress disorder. Certainly with no experience in war I could never even begin to imagine the terror of what Roger went through. So I agree this part is necessary, to show that war doesn't end when one goes home from the war.
Very thought-provoking book. It is very unique and doesn't fall into either the rah-rah war God Bless us Americans camp nor the "President Johnson / Nixon is a crook" and "all war is evil" camp. Although it definitely leans toward the "war is evil" camp, the Vietnam War itself deserved that label - an useless war that destroyed thousands of lives. It makes you wonder and shake your head at how all this ever happened.

Vivid and engrossing
By Amazon Customer
Coming of age in the 1960s, I could easily relate to this realistic tale of a college kid turned soldier during the Vietnam War (Note: Technically it wasn't a war; in every other way, it certainly was). The aftermath of the war was--and continues to be--horrific. We, as a society, have been too willing to sweep those experiences under the carpet and it takes a brave author like Fantina to remind us of the atrocities our young men and women caused and suffered.
Roger Gaines, a promising young college student, is drafted into the army and sent to Vietnam. Wanting to do his duty to his country, he follows orders for as long as he can. After he is honorably discharged, he finds his way home, not knowing how to put the shattered pieces of his life back in order. Pam Wentworth, his high school sweetheart, begins to study the Vietnam War as a way to understand what her fiance was going through. Caught up in the events of Chicago in 1968, her protests to the war turn violent and reach a point of no return.
There is much of Fantina's work that is a cliché--high school sweethearts driven apart by war, each caught up in forces beyond their control. But Fantina's strength is his gripping and horrifying glimpse of war from the perspective of a naïve and ordinary young man of the time and the long road of recovery he faced. That part of it was so good I had to read it twice.
Fantina's treatment of Pam was not as good, but it's a rare male author who can write believable female characters (and vice versa). That didn't stop me from imagining her very clearly, however.
I recommend this book to everyone--both those who were alive during the Vietnam War (it's guaranteed to bring back memories) and those who weren't and want to know what it was like. Many comparisons have been written about our current wars and that in Vietnam, but this one shows how utterly different they can be, but how much the same the aftermath is.

Great book
By a fan
Having grown up while the Vietnam War was raging, I was intrigued when I heard about this book. I wasn't disappointed! I found myself really caring about the characters as if they were real people. I sometimes laughed with them, but more often cried with them and for them. The book is very well-written, and while reading it, it was almost as if I were back in the 60's and early 70's. If you are looking for an excellent story to escape into, I highly recommend `Look Not Unto the Morrow.'
