(CHARLESTON, SC) - Please welcome MilSpeak Books’ latest title, HOW TO NOT TELL A WAR STORY, written by Michael Lund, Vietnam War correspondent and author of nine novels about the great American highway, Route 66.

HOW TO NOT TELL A WAR STORY is a collection of short stories about veterans who went to war but left without a war story to tell. Forty years after their experience, these veterans begin asking if there is something more to say about their military service. Among other things, they come to appreciate the lovers, friends, and family who helped them shape a new post-war identity. Explore with Michael Lund the lives of these veterans who discover being in the service is not something to be edited out of a personal history, but an experience that stays in memory, not an ending but the beginning of a measure of peace, no matter how short the stint, or inglorious.

I hope you will enjoy reading this collection.
