In 1968 eighteen-year-old Brad Thomas is required to fight for his country in Vietnam for one year-twelve harrowing months that will mentally and emotionally cripple him for years to come. After completing his tour of duty, he goes on to successfully pursue and retire from two careers, all while wrecking his personal life.
As his losses pile up, from drinking-related health issues to four regretful divorces, Brad's struggle to overcome his recurring battlefield nightmares seems to have reached a dead end-until one night, with the assistance of an entire bottle of wine, Brad confronts his suitcase filled with memorabilia from the war. Amid the horrific memories that come flooding back, he recalls the unexpected gift an old woman gave him and his broken promise to share it with his country.
In an effort to honor the woman and overcome his PTSD once and for all, Brad returns to Vietnam in search of the village where he last saw her. But what he finds is beyond anything he could've imagined.
An unforgettable work of military fiction, The Good Soldier tells a story of hope arising from the horrors of war.
