Review by Joseph Yurt for Reader Views (4/12)
Some readers will find The Second Tour, by author Terry P. Rizzuti, to be a grim and grueling read. It is a mirror image of what was one of the most gruesome wars ever fought. For me, this book is also one of the most moving and meticulously crafted novels about that war, or any war, that I've read.
The Second Tour foretells in many ways the problems that would continue to plague our soldiers in the "new" kind of wars that would come after Vietnam. And if the reader makes a commitment to stick with it, Terry Rizzuti's powerful book will unlock their comprehension of the plight of our soldiers, not only in combat, but also in completing their "second tour" upon coming home. That second tour is long, in many ways far more daunting than the first, and it is one that is having an alarming impact on our soldiers and our society as a whole. The Second Tour is a difficult read, but a read we owe to our soldiers and ourselves to undertake. It is truly a remarkable debut novel.
Soldier's Gap is a non-traditional mystery with literary elements. The high school principal is brutally murdered, but Deputy Sheriff Dave Jenkins's search for meaning and love is a much more significant theme.
