Lieutenant Dangerous

Lieutenant Dangerous is, the author notes, a sad story, full of waste and loss. It's powerful. Put it next to Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried on your bookshelf. --Laurie Hertzel, The Minneapolis Star Tribune An important book . . . at times mordantly funny, at others sparking with anger. --The Washington Post By turns funny, sad, horrifying, and thought-provoking . . . reads like a cross between Joseph Heller's Catch-22 and the television show M.A.S.H. --The Christian Science Monitor As with his cartooning, Danziger pulls no punches with his description of his time in the service and Vietnam. -- The Florida Times-Union A must-read war memoir . . . with zero punches pulled, related by one of the most incisive observers of the American political scene. -- KIRKUS reviews (starred review) In clear language he [Danziger] describes both the horrors and absurdities of war and the toll it takes on a soldier. -- The Rutland Herald Brilliant political cartoonist Jeff Danziger has written a crackerjack new book...The book is a rollicking, honest, cynical and, at times, tragic recollection of that dreadful and deceitful war. -- Valley News Danziger's new book isn't merely a recollection of a tumultuous time in his youth; it also passionately engages our political situation now. -- Seven Days Lieutenant Dangerous is a forthright, brutally honest memoir of one American's experiences during the time of the Vietnam War. --The North Star Monthly Danziger's book is a note to the wise. You can forget about the Vietnam War. Certainly, the past cannot be recovered. But it pays to be on guard not to repeat the same mistakes in the future. Danziger has written a fine book and it is well worth reading. --Global Insights
