Tarnished Brass Curtain: a Novel of Vietnam Richard S. Rose

Why did the Admiral's son go underground? What is the chief-of-staff covering up? What is the involvement of the Public Affairs Senior Chief? Moveable Forts and Magazines explores the sibling themes of conscience and responsibility by examining the thoughts and feelings of two men-one young, innocent and practical; the other, older, experienced, and idealistic. Re-live six months in 1968 as you move from the skies over the Mekong Delta to the Admiral's headquarters to the anti-war group's coffee house. Officers, enlisted men, college students and newsmen act and interact, frequently on the basis of incomplete, inaccurate or deliberately falsified information.
