The following is the preface to the brilliant war novel All Quiet On The Western Front. "This book is to be neither an accusation nor a confession, and least of all an adventure, for death is not an adventure to those who stand face to face with it. It will try and simply to tell of a generation of men who, even though they may have escaped shells, were destroyed by the war."
We just finished a trip with injured warriors on the Smith River. Five days of fishing and floating knowing they have lived and seen the shadows of their souls.
