Into the Storm is the first book of The Violent Season trilogy. This first novel tells the story of two young Americans, Pat Green and Mickey Dwyer, as they go from childhood innocence in the streets of New York City to experienced infantrymen in the crucible of the Vietnam war. Growing up in the late 1960's, Pat and Mick are concerned only with getting through school, finding work, and making a life with their girlfriends. Then they find themselves in the army seeming chasing their own deaths in the jungles of Vietnam. This novel, written by a combat veteran, will bring its readers not only onto the battlefield, but also into the minds of the young men who fought there, both American and Vietnamese.
