Description: Winner of the National Book Award, An American Requiem is James Carroll’s deeply personal and historically resonant memoir examining faith, family, and the moral legacy of the Vietnam War. Carroll, the son of a powerful Catholic Air Force general, confronts the collision between his father’s unwavering belief in military duty and his own anguished opposition to the war. Blending memoir, political history, and spiritual inquiry, this book explores how national conflict fractures families and consciences alike. A powerful and enduring work of American religious, political, and cultural reflection that remains widely read and discussed decades after publication. This near fine paperback copy is ideal for readers of history, memoir, theology, and modern American studies.
