CATALOG ONLY:(you need and account with us to order)-A roughneck, redneck, and brawler, Jebediah Shaw had a wild streak wider than a country mile when he left home, and he was happy to have a war to fight. Now, battle scarred and weary, he's returned to the girl of his dreams and the small East Texas town he calls home. Jebediah is anxious to start the "real life" he'd promised himself in the desert of Iraq. Only the new demands of becoming a college student, husband, and provider soon prove to be a heavy burden while trudging away as the muscle for a local bondsman.

Then someone with too much money throws him a life preserver. In exchange for a...

The result is a devastatingly funny critique of contemporary civilization. M is a National Literary Awards Winner - 2008 Space Odyssey Award for Science Fiction from the National Literary Foundation.

CATALOG ONLY:(you need and account with us to order)--Why Didn't You Have To Go To Vietnam, Daddy? It's a question children have been asking since the 1960's. Only a true Vietnam War veteran could write such a biting, satirical, revealing look into the everyday lives of soldiers within Vietnam. In the tradition of MASH and Catch 22, Why Didn't You Have To Go To Vietnam, Daddy is brutally honest about the widespread drug use among GI's, and a new insight into the antiwar feelings of many in the US Army.
