Waiting for a Rainbow - Coming of Age in Vietnam

It is the summer of 1990, and United States Army chaplain, Colonel Michael Brandon Ohara is preparing to depart for the Persian Gulf and Operation Desert Shield. But as he faces the prospect of heeding the call of duty to yet another war - his fourth - something happens.
The nightmares have returned. Sweat-filled nights of calling out the names of fallen comrades, of visions of young Americans being blown apart by enemy fire. Of hopelessness, grief, and tears. Of Vietnam.
Curious to know about his dad's wartime experiences (and the mystery of how he got his name) the colonel's teenage son begins asking painful questions. A long-sealed Pandora's Box opens- and this gripping and tautly-woven story starts to unfold.
Suddenly it's 1967 again, in Nha Trang, and nineteen-year-old PFC Ohara is beginning a long journey into war, love,life ... and death.
Waiting for a Rainbow is Paul Michael Frazee's first book of a trilogy. It is a powerful flashback to the passions and violence of the Vietnam war at its height on the eve of the Tet Offensive of 1968, and to the author's own experiences while serving with the United States Army's 1st Signal Brigade in Southeast Asia.
Waiting for a Rainbow will have you on the edge of your seat. You won't be able to put it down - until the final, ironic curtain falls.
