Vietnam Vet Authors a Powerful New Novel Set in the Turbulent 1960s

Dark Days for White Knights is the story of one Veteran’s loss of innocence and his sojourn down a lonely corridor...a chronicle of his quest to recover something of what he lost in Vietnam.
 
COLUMBUS, Ohio - May 9, 2013 - PRLog -- Canal Winchester, OH May 9, 2013: DARK DAYS FOR WHITE KNIGHTS is the name of the novel penned by author, and former Marine, Dick Jackson of Mountain Grove, Missouri.   Serving his country on a tour of duty in Vietnam, Jackson was seriously wounded during Operation Meade River in late 1968.  His experiences in Vietnam and upon his return "back to the world", inspired him to write what could be considered one of the finest stories ever written of that era.
  Combat veterans of every war and from every nation have been scarred by the atrocities of war. However, because of the rotation system implemented during the Vietnam War, the veterans of Vietnam straggled home, one by one, to be scattered across an increasingly hostile America.  America seemed as foreign as Vietnam had once been, but these were no longer the boys who had dreamed of serving America. The dreams of many had died in the soul-sucking mud of fetid rice paddies.
  There are many novels about Vietnam, most of which highlight heroic actions in combat.  Heroes are a part of all wars and their stories are exciting and important. Vietnam was no exception. The devotion the warriors shared for one another spawned many heroic actions...but perhaps the important lessons from Vietnam were about personal responsibility, misplaced trust and the ultimate cost of survival. In that light, DARK DAYS FOR WHITE KNIGHTS is a unique perspective on a still controversial time in American history.
