Land of Childhood's Fears - Faith, Friendship, and The Vietnam War

The hardcover edition of this book contains an additional section on the JFK assassination

Land of Childhood's Fears
Foreword by:
Dr. Stan Monteith of Radio Liberty

I've read dozens of books about Vietnam - the reason for the conflict, the impact of the war on American society, and the impact of the war on the men who fought there. David Todeschini's book, Land of Childhood's Fears, provides information you won't find discussed elsewhere. David was sent to Vietnam, and thrust into a war he didn't understand, when he was 19 years old. His discussion of Operation Phoenix is revealing; his information on Agent Orange is disheartening; his assessment of the massacres that took place at My Lai and My Khe are distressing; his revelation about the CIA's involvement in drugs is discouraging, but all must be addressed. You will never look at these, and many other issues, in the same way after you read this book; it is a powerful portrayal of the emotional impact the war had on an American soldier. The conflict brought out wonderful traits in some men, inhumanity in others. Some of our soldiers committed atrocities, most of them were concerned about the plight of the Vietnamese people, and the 3 million Vietnamese who perished during the war. This is a story of horror and hedonism, depravity and indifference, courage and compassion, humanity and heroism. The author tries to explain the paradox; he answers some questions and raises others.

I recommend this book with two reservations; I cannot accept David's view of Scientology, and I don't believe we can solve our problems by taking up arms, because we are involved in a spiritual battle for the souls of men. The author addresses that subject, and recommends a solution. This book will change your view of Vietnam, and help you understand why we are fighting in Iraq.

Land of Childhood's Fears

The most emotional book on the Vietnam War - a complete catharsis by the author. Includes poetry to summarize each gut-wrenching chapter. Learn what Vietnam was really fought about. Learn how the CIA smuggled drugs out of Southeast Asia, and aided and abetted the enemy to kill our own soldiers. Read gut-wrenching stories about the My Lai Massacre. The author includes a discussion with a vet who saw it all, and was trained to be a killer by the infamous “QC”. Read heart-warming stories about a love affair with a Saigon Bar Girl, a touching story about an 8 year old boy who died in the author’s arms. Read about the heart-warming Christmas Santa Claus visit on Tan Son Nhut Airbase in ‘71, and how a soldier spread the Christmas spirit to Vietnamese children by dressing up in a Santa suit in the sweltering heat. Six veterans discuss their memories - faithfully transcribed from shorthand notes. A new theory on the JFK assassination from vets who know how covert operations work, and how the CIA covers up their foul deeds with denial and misinformation. Dr. Stan Monteith of Radio Liberty and the author discuss the book at length, in several radio programs. You can download the first two-hour broadcast (July 2, 2004) and listen to the discussion. The book's title has changed from the original "Roots & Wings" after line # 12 in a poem "Reflections" which was very well received by veterans in a VA hospital, and is included in the book.

NOTE: An entire chapter of this book - "Vet's Rap Sessions" is a book in its own right. "Vet's Rap Sessions" discusses various issues such as My Lai, Covert Operations, and a new theory on the JFK assassination which fits all the available facts, and does not violate the laws of physics like the Warren Commission's "Magic Bullet" theory. A well-known author (William Cooper) was murdered because he dared to allege this. I cover this most sensitive subject in "Vet's Rap Sessions" - which is a chapter out of "Land of Childhood's Fears".
