Cry for the Water Buffalo

By James N. Zitzelsberger

A Vietnamese family is decimated by the war around them and a sniper caught up in the military machine. Children, parents, politicians and soldiers are shaped by that war, driven by it, and never released. Cry for the Water Buffalo is reminiscent of the U.S. Civil War, the families divided therein, and the magnitude of the casualties incurred on both sides. #13;#13;This is a work of contemporary historical fiction that moves from the fighting of the Vietnam War into the lives of today's still struggling immigrants and soldiers who share the persistent and often unrecognized residuals of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder). Haunting!#13;#13;Jim Zitzelsberger served two tours of duty in Vietnam with Naval Mobil Construction Battalion (MCB) 128 stationed at Da Nang and Quang Tri during the pivotal years of 1967, ?68, and ?69.#13;
