Notes
Saigon and Other Poems is the culmination of nearly ninety years of living, observing, and reporting. Former newsman Jack Walters combines the great events of the American Century and the keenly felt moments of a man's life into a body of poetry emotive, erudite and profound as anything written these past fifty years. Includes poems regarding WW2, Vietnam and Iraq.
