The Kadusian Chronicles by Jack Ford is a rare excursion into the psyche of one soldier whose fantasies and predisposition were the interplay of his survival during the engatement few dared to call a war. Jack Ford's impeccable style and distillation of human tragedy, spiced with unexpected humor, and grounded in relatively unknown history, signify the turning point for Mark Kadusian during the era that was Vietnam, and the generation called the "Baby Boomers" when over 58,000 American lives were sacrificed.
