Chronicle Supposing Books Indian Country

Indian Country is a sweeping, brave and compassionate story from one of our most acclaimed chroniclers of the Vietnam experience.
Christian Starkmann follows his boyhood friend, an Ojibwa Indian called Bonny George, from the wilderness of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, where they roamed, hunted and fished in their youths, to the wilderness of Vietnam, where they serve as soldiers in the same platoon. After returning home from the war, his friend buried on the battlefield he left behind, Christian begins to make a life for himself. Yet years later, although he is happily married to June, a good-hearted social worker, and has two daughters, Christian is still fighting--with the searing memories of combat, with the paranoid visions that are clouding his marriage and threatening his career, and most of all with the ghost of Bonny George, who haunts his dreams and presses him to come to terms with a secret so powerful it could destroy everything he has built.

Judge Epithetical Books Indian Country

Excellent book. The overarching story is of a Vietnam vet sinking into insanity for 14 years after returning home from the war, then finally finding forgiveness and life. But it is so much more than that. It is about friendship, family - both blood and chosen, religion, Native American beliefs, ecology. Set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Philip Caputo is a fabulous writer.

This is a powerful and sad book about Christian Starkman, who despite having an anti-war Lutheran pastor for a father, decides to join one of his best friends in Vietnam. There his best friend is killed and Christian returns to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with PTSD and the majority of the book takes place there as he tries to live with his PTSD, causing all sorts of havoc for his wife and two daughters. Very little of the book takes place in Vietnam and only in short flashbacks as he tries

The descent into madness of a Vietnam war veteran set in the U.P.( upper peninsula) of Michigan in the 1980's. I'm sure anyone from there would not be happy with his description of the people and what life is like there-pretty grim. The next to last page it was a little too late for the final plot twist but by then it didn't matter.

Starts slow, but it is a really intimate look at the trauma of returning from war. This novel is a real testament to what Vietnam soldiers went through during, and especially after their return from fighting. Set in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan it is a really moving portrait of one soldier's struggle to become whole again. Stick with it, it's a moving book.

A really good story of a vet, returned from Viet Nam to the Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Bleak, but beautiful.

A young man goes to Vietnam with a friend and is traumatized - most of the book follows him as a screwed-up adult. Not bad, but more phychologically gross than I prefer.

A very good read, but another difficult one. It's about what happens to vets (Vietnam in this case) when they return. Years after they return. There's a bunch of stuff in it about Native American traditions which I think it didn't really need, but the tale of the building breakdown is wonderful and terrible. There comes a point where I couldn't stop reading: had to know what would happen. Scary and very sad, but entirely convincing.
