Eye Corps
Coming of Age at the Dmz
Langbeschreibung
This is the story of a young man who was drafted into the army in 1964 and who ended up in Vietnam as a marine recon company commander at the DMZ in 1967. While a war story, it is more importantly about growing up in a combat zone with the help of senior mentors and a bit of luck, while dealing with a tenacious enemy as well as politicians thousands of miles from the battlefield. It is also a portrait of America in the troubled 1960s.
Jack Walker grew up in the Bronx. He graduated from Notre Dame with a degree in mathematics and began work on his master's in literature at the University of North Carolina before being drafted. Walker was a Marine officer for three and a half years, serving one year in Vietnam. Later, he graduated from Harvard Law School and joined the LA law firm of Latham & Watkins in 1971. A tax lawyer for many years and firm managing partner for several, Walker retired in 2003. Jack has written two novels. The first, about politics and courts, is called The Extraordinary Rendition of Vincent Dellamaria. The second, about doctors and hospitals, is called Doctor Blood Moon. He currently resides in Los Angeles.
