Lost Over Laos: A True Story of Tragedy, Mystery, and Friendship
ISBN: 9780306812514 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780313237232 / Angielski / Twarda / 193 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lewis thoroughly analyzes the processes through which social reality is constructed and subjectively appropriated by individuals. Step-by-step he shows precisely how a war in Southeast Asia became a young man's reality, how Americans found themseles compelled to scrap the cultural knowledge they had been taught, how an individual went from civilian to combat soldier and back again and was flung into a cultural twilight zone. To reconstruct their world view, Lewis dips into the minds, hearts, and souls of the young men who witnessed the Vietnam War firsthand. As they tell their own stories...
