Fiction. In these three linked novellas, Boatwright explores the lasting effects of the Vietnam War on people living in its shadow—both those who fought and those who didn't.

This collection of 3 short stories investigates the effects of the Vietnam War on those who fought, as well as their families, civilians who lived through it and those who chose to stay out of the fray, for whatever reasons. Like The Crazy Iris and other Stories of the Atomic Aftermath, edited by the great Japanese writer Kenzaburo Oe, containing stories of the effects of the bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima in WWII, Collateral Damage by Alice K. Boatwright crafts fictional stories that are more than likely all too real for many people who experienced that tumultuous period of history in one way or another.
