This month's special feature: As a Canadian citizen living in California, Les Brown was a world away from the horror on the other side of the Pacific. But then the late 1960s crept up and he was drafted into the U.S. Army and sent off to Vietnam, where he came to fully understand fear, misery and alienation. Written in the raw language of a soldier, There It Is: A Canadian in the Vietnam War describes the experience of perpetual danger and inhumanity. It is a haunting portrait of the hellishness of war that is at once thrilling and astonishing. 
 
"There It Is offers a terrifying trip with freaked out soldiers in the jungles of southeast Asia. We hear the helicopters, we smell the panic and we weep at the futility of it all."
-- Paul Gessell, The Ottawa Citizen

"In There It Is, one hears echoes of [Michael] Herr's Dispatches … Brown presents a unique perspective of the war the U.S. couldn't win."
-- Peter Kent, Global Television
