Why did the Admiral’s son go underground? What is the chief-of-staff covering up? What is the involvement of the Public Affairs Senior Chief?
"Moveable Forts and Magazines: A Novel of Vietnam" explores the sibling themes of conscience and responsibility. The thoughts and feelings of two men—one young, innocent and practical; the other, older, experienced, and idealistic—are examined.
Re-live six months in 1968 as you move from the skies over the Mekong Delta to the Admiral’s headquarters to the classroom to the coffee house of the anti-war movement. Officers, enlisted men, college students and newsmen act and interact, frequently on the basis of incomplete, inaccurate or deliberately falsified information.
