Season of Mists

Thuy thinks war is glorious and heroic. But he's about to discover that heroism and glory are not as simple as they seem.





The Vietnamese village Thuy grew up in is surrounded by the American conflict. At sixteen, he feels he's ready to join the Viet Cong, despite his mother's qualms.





When he does, Thuy is catapulted almost immediately into something he never imagined-reconnaissance missions into the heart of an American camp, privation, and battles with high costs. Then, wounded and hungry, he must set out alone through the jungle toward home, a village he's not even sure still exists. . . .





In this story of loyalty, courage, and endurance, former U.S. Marine and Vietnam veteran G. Lowell Tollefson pays homage to the strength and heart of his one-time adversaries.
