The book is written by Charles R. Figley, a psychologist who served as a combat medic in Vietnam. Figley draws on his own experiences, as well as the stories of other veterans, to create a vivid and unforgettable portrait of war.

**Is This Your First War?** is not a political book. It does not take sides in the debate over the Vietnam War. Instead, it focuses on the human cost of war. Figley shows us the young men who went to Vietnam full of hope and idealism, and the broken men who returned home.

**Is This Your First War?** is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the Vietnam War and its impact on the United States. It is also a powerful reminder of the human cost of war.
