Fortunate Son, like its protagonist, is frank, tough, and completely honest. On the surface, it is the story of a man's emergence from the shadow of a famous father, only to be challenged by war, crippling injury and alcoholism. but underneath, fortunate Son is an absorbing, inspiring, and very personal tale of how grit, courage, and the love of a good woman combined to overcome repeated adversity. This is compelling reading for anyone who wants to understand how deeply the Vietnam War affected its veterans on an individual, personal level.military - vietnam war, lewis b. puller, united states - marine corps, president ford
