Three million Americans took part in the Vietnam War. Every soldier who fought in Vietnam was changed by the war. Frederick Downs, Jr. served in the infantry, patrolling the jungles until his left arm was blown off & the rest of his body mutilated. He had stepped on the trigger of a land mine on January 11, 1968. That story was told in The Killing Zone, published in 1978. He nearly died, but by sheer will he was able to rekindle a remarkable spirit that carried him forth into a new life. There were daily operations & weeks of wracking pain. This is the story of how one man put his life together again after he left the hospital.
