Description: WHEN I WAS A YOUNG MAN: A Memoir by Bob Kerrey. VERY GOOD++ First Edition stated, full letter line hardcover, 2002. Former Senator Kerrey recounts his youth in Nebraska and his journey from the heartland to the dangers of Vietnam, where he served as a Navy SEAL. He also writes of the hospitals where he recovered from the loss of part of his leg as a result of an encounter with the enemy, an encounter for which he was later awarded the Medal of Honor. Prior to being wounded, Kerrey had been involved in a firefight that resulted in civilian deaths, which when reported by the press decades later, reopened the debates about the Vietnam War. In time, he turned against the war. VERY GOOD++ First Edition stated, full letter line hardcover, appearing unread with pages and edges clean and unmarked. One bent corner has been straightened.
