Like so many Vietnam veterans, the Jewish Americans interviewed here returned to a country they could not understand, where they often were regarded as villains instead of heroes. Unlike most, these men had a second country--their ancestral home of Israel.This is an oral history of 18 Jewish Americans who moved to Israel after serving in Vietnam: their experiences growing up in America, their brushes with anti-Semitism, their experiences in the jungles of Southeast Asia, and then their return to the United States and subsequent move to Israel. A major focus is the role of their Vietnam experiences in their decision to emigrate.
