Opis

Drafted into the Army upon graduation from Pomona College in June, 1950, Donald W. Bray was plunged into the Korean War. Killing was not in his nature. His incredible experience as a soldier resonates with that of the millions of Americans swept into international conflicts. Assigned to an African-American unit, his involvement in the desegregation of the Army offers an insiders view of that process. He reflects on his understanding of life, death, and war. He regains a measure of mental balance living on the Spanish island of Ibiza, working with street kids from New York, doing research in Mexico and Chile for advanced degrees, and teaching in the first Peace Corps program at Notre Dame.
