by Rick St John (Author)
Circle of Helmets is a one-of-a-kind literary time machine. First, the reader is introduced to a young, ingenuous soldier as he slowly and inexorably becomes hardened by the Vietnam War, through his raw, first-hand accounts of battles fought all across Vietnam, in the war's bloodiest year - - 1968. Then, many decades later, the reader meets the insightful, sensitive veteran he had become, through his intense poems about those same battlefields. Riveting and poignant, this book is a rare glimpse into the psyche of a Vietnam veteran, past and present. A deeply personal and compelling story, that you will not forget.
