Hi!
I’ve been looking for a book that touches on life in America during the Vietnam war. The protest movement, pentagon papers, rock and roll. Impartial to fiction or non-fiction.

I’d like to learn more about this time in American history, but also not looking for something super dry or anything that reads like a text book.

I can’t seem to find the right book after googling around, are there any recommendations?

Thanks!

Hmmmm…I KNOW I read a YA fiction book just like this but the title is escaping me right now. Let me do some research. There is a good one set a little bit later called “If I Ever Get Out of Here” that touches on the Native American experience in education, military bases and tribal land, and GREAT music.

Recently started my own firm and interested in others thoughts. Are there resources out there for practical advice or is it only something that comes with experience? For example, I can take let's say a 601A client and use the resources available to me to learn how to do it. But if a client asks me is it better to marry my fiance in her home country, bring her here on a K-1 or have her visit on a B-2, that's not learned from a book or webinar. How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?

Did anyone read this yet ? I'm not sure how much I liked the paragraph long sentences but it has some very distinctive Kafkaesque tones. The book has already seen widely different reviews from different political camps. Ex-McKinsey & Company consultants are really becoming mainstream authors now.
