First edition. 1/4 inch tear to jacket corner owner bookplate with name inked out on front endpaper. 1994 Hard Cover. xiv 344 pp. 8vo. From the jacket: ''I want to give something back' the author insisted. His counselor at the Vet Center suggested 'You can give the guys in treatment hope. You know what PTSD looks like from both sides. You can tell these guys what it's like and what's different when you get beyond it.' Ron Zaczek had been a good crewchief. He was 'Zack' then: Marine Observation Squadron Three '66-'68; Phu Bai Dong Ha Khe Sanh; 393 missions in Huey medevacs and gunships; 19 Air Medals and a Bronze Star. He'd succeeded in college and in industry. Good marriage two fine kids. Then things began to fall apart. Too much anger depression. Thoughts of suicide. So many missions of mercy and death returning in nightmare and flashback out of control: 'You gotta get us out Scarface. We're burning up!' Marine crewchiefs never lost control! Control was survival and Zack was trained to survive. He entered the Vet Center Outreach Program as a last resort not believing it could help. Farewell Darkness is a probing personal look at war's psychological toll. Told with a vision of healing and hope Zaczek's story captures the passion and idealism he felt as a 19-year-old Marine new to war his pride in doing a job well his fear and perseverance in the face of enemy fire his grief over the loss of friends and the anger and sadness of his homecoming. The reader lives Zaczek's brutal honest journey through war as well as his treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder. Naval Institute Press hardcover books

That was the basic theme of the GI teach-in held last Saturday in Berkeley's Provo Park. The mike was open only to soldiers or ex-soldiers and it had a constant flow of users from the audience. After opening speeches by Don Duncan and some newer faces including Ron Alexander ex-special Forces Dennis Steele ex-101st Airborne and Airman First Class Michael Locks the mike was thrown open. It remained occupied for several hours.Speakers reported that in Vietnam the mood of the soldiers has changed drastically from the early days. Now NCO's and below can denounce the war policy in front of an officer who will at the most turn and leave. All of the speakers agreed that it was of prime importance to give soldiers some indications of support in their antiwar views both on base and off."<br/> <br/> This scarce piece is photomechanically reproduced on a 11" x 8 ½" sheet of white paper which is a bit toned with a one-inch closed tear along the right edge; otherwise very good. unknown
