Body shop; recuperating from Vietnam

by Corinne Browne

Corrine Brown's book "Body Recuperating From Vietnam" is a fascinating glimpse of men freely talking to the author about a variety of subjects concerning the war in Vietnam. The interviewed all have several things in common. They all were severely wounded in the war with resulting traumatic amputations of their limbs. They all were waiting for their wounds to heal and were learning to use their new, artificial limbs. They were all patients, when this book was written, at "Letterman General Hospital, in San Francisco, California.
