It is written from the perspective of a citizen-soldier whose personal story placed him in the front ranks of the Vietnam War as a medical officer with the Special Forces. His experiences in-country ranged from combat to the farcical. Hunter returned to Vietnam in 1997 in response to a letter from his Montagnard interpreter requesting help after ten years in a communist reeducation camp. The stories of these two men are related contextually during their travels on Hunter's return pilgrimage. The narrative is seasoned with the author's insights on history, politics, medicine, the horror and rapture of war, and the ambiguity of the human condition, citizenship, cultural imperialism, religion, morality, loss, and recovery. Hunter writes with the precision of a surgeon, the arresting images of a poet, and the compassion of both--which he is."" -- "" Karl Marlantes, USMC, Vietnam, 1968/69, author of What It Is Like to Go to War, Deep River, and the New York Times' bestseller, Matterhorn""" Exit Wounds is the finest memoir of the Vietnam War that I have read.
