- Summary:
- Braiden Chaney lost his arms and legs in Vietnam. Walter James lost most of his face. And when they meet 22 years later--in adjoining beds in a V.A. hospital, their wounds still hurt. As these two men--one black, one white--tell their stories, they tell the story of the war itself and of all the lives--poor black lives in particular--it consumed.
