War and American Life Reflections on Those Who Serve and Sacrifice

An engaging collection of essays focusing on American veterans. Cannons in the Park is a book of essays and reflections by celebrated historian and former marine James Wright, who has been active as an advocate, teacher, and scholar. Featuring both previously published pieces and new essays, the book considers veterans in America and the ways in which our society needs better to understand who they are and what they have done on the nation's behalf-and the responsibilities that follow this recognition.
