About this ebook
An army doctor's classic Vietnam War memoir—a National Book Award Finalist and "a book of great emotional impact"—plus two powerful novels ( The New York Times).
Published in 1971 with the Vietnam War still raging, Ronald Glasser's unflinching memoir of one doctor's experience with the human cost of the devastating conflict was hailed by William Styron as "a moving account about tremendous courage and often immeasurable suffering . . . [A] valuable and redemptive work." 365 Days quickly became a powerful anti-war statement of the time that still resonates today, selling over two hundred thousand copies.
Turning to fiction, Glasser continued to draw on his own experience as a doctor in the Vietnam War and as an intern in a pediatric ward to craft novels of gripping drama and heartfelt poignancy.
365 Days: In 1968, as a serviceman in the Vietnam War, Ronald Glasser, a pediatrician, was sent to Japan to work at the US Army hospital tending to children of officers and government officials. But he was soon caught up in the waves of casualties that poured in from every Vietnam front. In 365 Days, Glasser reveals a candid and shocking account of that harrowing experience, giving voice to the wounded, the maimed, the dead, with unflinching candor and compassionate humanity.
"The most convincing, most moving account I have yet to read about what it was like to be an American soldier in Vietnam." — Newsweek
Another War, Another Peace: Assigned to Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War, an idealistic young doctor forms an unlikely bond with his driver, a battle-hardened soldier, as they struggle to bring medical aid to Vietnamese villagers.
"The author of the remarkable classic 365 Days has in this small novel written with such power about a young American doctor in the war zone that surely he has added another memorable book to the literature of those ghastly years." —Gloria Emerson, author of Winners & Losers
Ward 402: In this gripping, authentic, and impassioned novel, an intern on pediatric Ward 402 fights to save an eleven-year-old girl with advanced leukemia, which her parents believe to be terminal.
"[Dr. Glasser] can describe a medical emergency in a way that makes the entire scene spring to life. . . . This is good and exciting writing." — The New York Times Book Review
