SUMMARY:Vietnam War Book Discussion at Museum
DESCRIPTION:Vietnam War Book Discussion at Museum\n\n \n\n     A book discussion on Tim O'Brian's Vietnam War novel The Things They Carried will be held at the Otter Tail County Historical Museum on Thursday\, September 3\, 6:30 p.m.\n\n     The Vietnam War still has the power to divide Americans between those for it and those against. Today it also divides us\, just as surely\, between those who remember its era firsthand and those not yet born when the troops came home. There may be no better bridge across these twin divides than Tim O'Brian's novel The Things They Carried. The details of warfare may have changed since Vietnam\, but O'Brian's semi-autobiographical account of a young platoon on a battlefield without a front\, dodging sniper fire and their own misgivings\, continues to win legions of dedicated readers both in uniform and out.\n\n     If you would like to participate in this discussion copies of The Things They Carried are available through interlibrary loan. Contact your local library to request a copy. The book can also be purchased from the Victor Lundeen Company. For more information call the Otter Tail County Historical Society at 218-736-6038.
