In this book the author writes about the extremes of pain and alienation suffered by the Vietnam veterans and about their search for reconnection and continuity. This book is about the process of individual and collective transformation from war to peace, suffering and realization, and the life-death issues that face the survivors. Lifton describes the struggle to confront the absurdity and horror of Vietnam and the struggle by those who have become numbed in this process, to regain their feelings and develop a new sense of themselves and their world.
