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.

Stylish shirt
Size: 14"-14.5" Neck 32"-33" Sleeve, Color: Ash Green
Perfect fit and size, as promoted. The quality and feel (comfort) are nice. The color is a little lighter than what I could see on the screen, but I liked it. The shirt is not too thin or thick.

Great shirt! Great price!
Size: 17"-17.5" Neck 34"-35" Sleeve, Color: Medium Blue
These shirts are listed for sale on Amazon with the title "Unlisted by Kenneth Cole men's Slim Fit." To me these shirts aren't "Slim Fit." I have purchased "Slim Fit" shirts in the past from other manufacturers and they were always too tight on me. I'm 6ft and 185 lbs. To me these shirts are more a standard fit and they fit me perfectly. They are made with a combination of cotton and polyester which means they resist wrinkling. And for about $20 each they are a great deal! Kenneth Cole also sells their "Unlisted by Kenneth Cole men's Regular Fit" on Amazon. These shirts should be called "Big and Tall" or "Full Size" fit. This is the first shirt I ordered, and they were too big on me. They are mostly for chubby or muscular men.
