Reviews

"""A fascinating story of three writers--veterans of World War II in search of authenticity."" --James B. Gilbert ""author of Men in the Middle: Searching for Masculinity in the 1950s"" ""Beautifully written and sensitively wrought, When Cowboys Come Home rejects the images of WWII veterans as pugilists or Organization Men. Through neglected figures, including James Jones and Edward Fields, Aaron George audaciously insists that vets took from their war experience a thirst for male bonding, camaraderie, and intense relationships."" --David Steigerwald ""author of The Sixties and the End of Modern America"""
