Author: Campbell, Kerri

Condition: New

That damn war, my mother wailed between sobs. My brother, Steve, died on the streets of Fargo, North Dakota nearly 30 years to the day he enlisted into the Army and went to Vietnam. He left us only with questions about our failure to help him and why our mother was never notified of his death. Steve's story mirrors those of veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan. No Immediate Threat doesn't just tell the story of one American veteran, it tells the story of many."Ms. Campbell tells it like it is and offers many good insights, and cures into the problems not only faced by Vietnam vets, but also our returning veterans from the Gulf War and Iraq. Will their story be different?"-Rick Baker, Vietnam veteran, 1968?70"No Immediate Threat is more than a stirring and sensitive tribute to a Vietnam veteran brother whose untimely death shocked family and friends. This book also raises searching questions about how we treat our current returning veterans and their families, what services are actually available to them, and what we can do to make sure our government responds to their needs."-Maril Crabtree, author of the Sacred series, www.sacredfeathers.com
