Bloods: An Oral History of the Vietnam War by Black Veterans Overview

Wallace Terry introduces the stories of twenty African American Vietnam veterans in the stark unpolished book Bloods: An Oral History of the Vietnam War. In their own conversational voices, the men explore the effects of racism and the horrors of war not only during their time in Vietnam but the lasting side effects when they return to the hostile environment of anti-war and anti-black post war America.
