A Cry From the Forest is a book that should be read by everyone, but absolutely must be read by every "Babyboomer". We were all there, but few of us can recall so clearly the events of the late 1960's, as can Jack Chite. This book is so real that it should not be called fiction. In a flowing, easy to read manner, Chite has captured the way it was when we were young. Once you start reading it, you won't put it down. A great story, well written. We all knew a Vince Colletti, only by another name. He was a buddy of yours, or maybe he was even you. Jack Chite began writing this book as a history lesson for his three daughters. He wanted them to know what it was like in the late 1960's, as our country was transitioning from peace to a terribly divisive war in Vietnam. He wanted them to know what his generation was feeling in their hearts and minds as they entered into the first stages of adulthood. The war's effect on his friends and his community is felt on every page. All the pain and joy came back to the author as he relived every detail that he wrote about. The book is a non-military tale of the toll that war takes on a person and on an entire community. But mostly, it is a book about the deep bond and love that existed between the friends who grew up together during those times and their families who share that love for each other with them.
