Praise from
“Training, combat, Bangkok liberty, bar fights, then Tet . . . this novel vividly and tragically captures a side of the war that couldn’t be shown until now. Don’t skip it because it’s about two gay soldiers.”
Love and Country is a heroic and heartbreaking story of 2 gay soldiers battling for love and freedom in the midst of volatile uncertainty and political unrest during the Vietnam War. The love story illustrates the bravery to serve openly in the military, at the risk of losing everything. Richard Gayton beautifully and realistically explores trauma, combat and survival and PTSD. He shines on the sharp contrast between trauma and betrayal accompanied with trust and brotherhood.
