Robert K. Brigham is the Shirley Ecker Boskey Professor of History and International Relations at Vassar College. He is the author or coauthor of ten books, among them Reckless: Henry Kissingerand the Tragedy of Vietnam.

"This is a True War Story is a highly readable saga about an adoptee’s lifelong journey to find his birth father. From the time that he was seven years old, the author fantasized that his birth father was serving in Vietnam. Often wrenching, this is an inspiring story of undying hope and perseverance in the face of daunting odds. A must-read for those who have been fostered, orphaned, and/or adopted, or who have an interest in the dynamics of families. This is a phenomenal—at times almost unbelievable—story. Bravo!"
