Download or read book Passing Time written by W.D. Ehrhart. This book was released on 2016-01-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From 1969 to 1974 Ehrhart was just Passing Time. His reentry into the "world" began with his enrollment as a 21-year-old freshman (and token Vietnam vet) at Swarthmore College. At first simply trying to bury his past, Ehrhart slowly if inexorably came to understand what happened to him, and why, in Vietnam. Interspersed are flash-backs to the war itself. It is the story of political--and personal--awakening. As the war dragged on, the United States' deceitful involvement and its perpetuation of fallacies and lies about the war's conduct forced Ehrhart to confront his own feelings about his government, country, and self. Throughout, the reader shares with Ehrhart his odyssey through naivete, growing awareness, angry withdrawal and, finally, a measure of peace.

They range from nature themes to love, death, heaven, hell, and everything in between. Many people might disagree with some of my work, but everyone has their own opinions on everything. Thats what makes the world the place it is today. Full of different views and ways of life, we all like to find what best suits ourselves. I have found what lifestyle best suits me. I hope you find your own also. I hope you enjoy reading only half as much as I did writing this book. Kind regards, Kevin McClements
