HOUSE OF PURPLE HEARTS: Vietnam Vets Find Their Way by Solotaroff 1995 HC 1Ed/1

Description: THE HOUSE OF PURPLE HEARTS: Stories of Vietnam Vets Who Find Their Way Back by Paul Solotaroff. NEW First Edition stated, full number line hardcover, 1995. Because returning Vietnam veterans were forced to face their demons alone in a society with no treatment system, 2 Vietnam vets, without college degrees or public money, opened up in 1989 a revolutionary veterans’ shelter in downtown Boston. Run with stringent security and martial discipline, the New England Shelter for Homeless Veterans, in a boot camp environment, provided top-to-bottom treatment - drug and alcohol detox, PTSD therapy, job training, housing, and more. The facility, which processed 1500 veterans a year, became a model for similar treatment programs. The book exposes America’s shameful neglect of Vietnam vets and shows how a few people can make a tremendous difference.
