Story
I'm Just a Supply Sgt. is a compelling narrative of the Vietnam War with a very personal, psychological perspective that is difficult to find in most histories. Don Stout's ability to comprehend and record his feelings during the war, and his struggles after the war, provide not only a window into the suffering of many veterans but also a tool for catharsis for those afflicted with PTSD. Without a doubt, Don's story provides one of the most unique perspectives on the war and is not only a history of his service but a psychological epic.

Story
Diventare cieco è un’esperienza drammatica. Significa il consumarsi dei rapporti con il mondo, con le sue misure e i suoi colori, con le sue promesse e le sue sorprese. E significa l’affaticarsi delle relazioni con gli altri e con le cose: le carezze che non giungono a segno e i bicchieri che cadono, l’impossibilità di scrivere una dedica o quella di decifrare un volto. Nel corso di oltre quindici anni, Luigi Manconi – sociologo e militante politico – è passato da una forte miopia all’ipovisione, alla cecità parziale e infine a quella totale.

The author considered a school bus as a learning-mobile, a moving laboratory of humanity, and a meeting place for students, away from the classroom. Equipped with those concepts, this retiree took a trip down memory lane and recalled his stint as a school bus driver in a suburban New York. The result is a memoir that is anything but ordinary. The author has vivid recollections, fascinating stories, and beguiling folklore from various cultures. This memoir is more than a reminiscence; it is a curious amalgam of autography and story-telling.
