Journal Article
Through \Star-Spangled Eyes\: Fortunate Son and the Problem of Resolution
2018
Overview
Because of the extent of their injuries, Ron Kovic's Bom on the Fourth of July and Lew Puller's Fortunate Son conclude radically different from the other books listed above. Because alcoholism was a symptom of the trauma not the cause, Puller's narrative of healing remains surface-level. [...]we should bear in mind that while the effects of trauma on perpetrators of violence are lasting and terrible-the impacts on recipients of violence are far greater. Jason A. Higgins is completing a Ph.D. in History from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, conducting the Incarcerated Veterans Oral History Project, and writing his dissertation on the history of incarcerated veterans since the war in Vietnam. Since 2011, he has completed over sixty oral history interviews with veterans from the Second World War and the wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
