I Am Victory

From a privileged childhood and private schooling, Laird stepped into the battlefields of Vietnam. "I did not return to the United States a Vietnam veteran. I returned as Vietnam." He waged his own lonely war with the V.A., drugs and recurrent pain and illness until he met the extraordinary men and women who helped him heal his life. In defiance of dehumanizing bureaucracy and hospitalizations, he stood fiercely against the odds and paid the price. Laird befriended a veteran who was protesting by "crucifying" himself in front of the White House: "His voice was a faint whisper: 'I'm going back on the cross.' Frozen tears lost in space. America lay in my arms, more beautiful and pure than anything I'd ever known..." In this moving and eloquent autobiography, Laird traces the steps of his pilgrimage from rage and disillusionment to the resurrection of body and Spirit. It is a testament to courage and love. "There is no other way to live than to utilize your divine intelligence with full knowledge of the divine truth within you. To triumph over the past is to triumph over all things."Busse, Laird R. is the author of 'I Am Victory ', published 1993 under ISBN 9780929385419 and ISBN 0929385411.
