Disenchanted A young mans story of Vietnam and his journey home By: Lane James Disenchanted: A young mans story of Vietnam and his journey home is the autobiography of Lane James. In 1969, at the age of nineteen, he was on a plane to Vietnam. At that point in his life, James had already experienced plenty of hardship. Growing up poor in Seattle required him to work hard and learn to take care of himself. His life changed forever when he was drafted into military service and joined the U.S. Army. From there, life became full of friendship, adventure, and danger. Both funny and educational, Disenchanted is full of personal stories about the daily life, struggles, highs, and lows of his life in combat in Vietnam. James gives readers an intimate look into scenes of peril in the midst of warfare as he and his fellow soldiers fought for their country and for their own survival. He describes the challenges of adjusting to civilian life after the war and his battle with PTSD and offers helpful commentary on the current support for veterans and the need to continue to improve efforts to support those who have served.
