The Brass Age

This is the story of an Appalachian boy becoming a man during the Nixon Era and during the final years of the war in Vietnam. It includes an auspicious beginning to a military career, a heartbreaking fall from grace, undying hope, and absolute faith in redemption. Biographical and very personal in nature, the narrative intends also to present the milieu and general history of those very interesting, very momentous years in the American experience.
