Author Description

Imagine being sent to war at age twenty, responsible for treating the severely wounded with only three months of training. It transforms you in ways you never could've imagined. Over fifty years later, I woke from a cardiac bypass to flashbacks of those long-forgotten memories, driven to write this story dedicated to those who endured and those who died in the Vietnam War. Note: This is an expanded and refined version of my work that was originally published as a short series on Vella under the same title. Here is one of the Vella 5-star reviews by a successful Indie writer: A Beautiful & Riveting Reflection on War and Life I could not stop reading this heartfelt and brutally honest reflection on a life transformed by a thankless war. Bob Squires brings to life one young man's journey into adulthood through the lens of an older man looking back on this war and how it shaped him. n this amazing account of war and its reverberations through the rest of life. So many great life lessons that would benefit any age. I so look forward to reading more of Bob Squires works. He's a brilliant and gorgeous writer with much to share.
