Out of the Night

I have only the uncorrected proofs of this book and I'm not sure how much changed between then and publication. However, the author makes some observations about American Christianity, or civil religion, with its tendency to confuse "God's will" and "the American way", that I think everyone in this country -- connected to the conflict in Vietnam or not -- should read, particularly at a time in our history when we seem determined to impose our way on the rest of the world. Highly recommended for anyone who desires to better understand the legacy of this war or why American Christianity so often falls short in the face of harsh reality.
