Description
"If Platoon grabbed your attention, A Soldier of the Second Civil War will grab you by the throat. It will also break your heart." - J.D. Wells, author of Ultimate Justice: The Final Penalty In August 1968 Daniel Cerrano was likely the most reluctant and embittered of the 82,000 plus draft-age young men ordered to report for induction into the United States Army. By March 1970 he had become a highly decorated combat veteran with a secret so terrible he would have to take it to his grave. A Soldier of the Second Civil War is his story: a shocking, never-before-published account of the most shameful slice of the Vietnam War and of the most heinous act of treason in the annals of American military history. A Soldier of the Second Civil War is an intensely human drama that lays bare the soul of a man and a nation in crisis. It is a tale of inner turmoil and strife, of battered conscience and sensibilities, of manipulation and deceit, of treachery and treason, of betrayal and corruption in high places. It is also the gut-wrenching, frighteningly realistic account of one young man's honor, courage and sacrifice in the most dishonorable of circumstances.
