I Was a Hero Once - Paperback
Description
by Peter P. Mahoney (Author)
Step into a gripping true story of war, betrayal, and survival that reveals how one man's life was forever changed by the defining events of a generation.
In 1968, Peter P. Mahoney joined the Army, became an infantry lieutenant, and was sent to Vietnam. But the war didn't end when he came home.
Drawn into Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW), Mahoney was later indicted in the Gainesville Eight case tied to the 1972 Republican Convention, where a trusted friend testified against him as an FBI informant. In the years that followed, he helped establish the New York Vietnam Veterans Memorial, met Soviet veterans of the Afghanistan War, and built a life far from the one he left behind.
Readers will discover:
- A firsthand Vietnam War memoir and its lasting impact
- A rare look at veteran activism and political unrest in 1970s America
- A deeply personal story of betrayal, resilience, and reinvention
I Was a Hero Once is a powerful Vietnam War memoir and political coming-of-age story about courage, disillusionment, and the moments that redefine a life.
