Keep Your Head Down: Vietnam, the Sixties, and a Journey of Self-Discovery"We tend to write about what will not go away," Doug Anderson says in this candid, darkly humorous journey of self discovery. Beginning in 1943, in the pre civil rights South filled with tobacco and war stories, he recalls the difficult childhood that propels him into service in Vietnam. In 1967, having returned home deeply shaken by his experience as a combat medical corpsman, Anderson plunges into the heady freedoms and excesses of the sixties. His
"We tend to write about what will not go away," Doug Anderson says in this candid, darkly humorous journey of self-discovery. Beginning in 1943, in the pre-civil rights South filled with tobacco and war stories, he recalls the difficult childhood that propels him into service in Vietnam. In 1967, having returned home deeply shaken by his experience as a combat medical corpsman, Anderson plunges into the heady freedoms and excesses of the sixties. His downward spiral--through booze, substance abuse, and sex--brings him dangerously close to a total breakdown. Finally, in a return group visit to Vietnam in 2000, he meets with former enemies now become writers and poets. Moved by the realization that "the last time I saw these people they were trying to kill me," Anderson confronts the past and calls upon a story--this powerful story--to rebuild a life.Binding Type: Paperback

Great blouse for work!
I purchased this red blouse as a Prime deal for Valentine’s Day. I wore to work with black pants. I think this is a great work blouse and intend to buy it in more colors. It is cute, not very formfitting, but still has a V-neck.
I would say it runs slightly large. It is also long in length. For reference, I am usually a large or XL because I am busty, but the large was plenty big and I was wondering if I could fit into a medium... If you want a more flowing top, this is definitely a great choice. I think this would look great with white jeans also and perhaps even tied at the waist.
As some reviewers have said, it does wrinkle easily. wWhen I got it from Amazon, I ironed it inside out, and all of the wrinkles came out. Perhaps, if you were sitting all day, it would be very wrinkly in the front. I sit for my job, but I did not tuck in the blouse - I kind of had it flow away from my body and it stayed mostly wrinkle free all day. I plan to buty in more colors!

Very nice
Size: Large, Color: Blue White Petal
Perfect length and fit and doesn't cling if you like a more relaxed look. I purchased 3 of these for work and I love them. I can wear them with khaki cropped pants and sandals, very cute. After washing and line drying there hasn't been any shrinkage and the fabric stays nice. Perfect for warmer weather climates!

Sizing seems to be different depending on color!
Size: Large, Color: Mini Leopard
Ordered in Mini Leopard in Large and Pink in Medium. The Mini leopard was too big and the Pink was to small! Decided to return both and order the pink in large. That fits!!! Sizing is different in different colors! Like the style and hopefully it will wash okay. Kept the pink, large! It did come extremely creased!
