Ninety Days

Sonny Gratzer earned an undergraduate degree in history at UM, then went to combat in Vietnam. He returned home and earned an M.F.A. in creative writing in 1976. This is his fourth book, a novel about an American infantry battalion commander who is taken prisoner by the North Vietnamese when his unit is ambushed and marched to Cambodia. While Steven Marion works on an escape plan, the military tells his wife he is dead, and she carries on with her life, marrying and starting over. Steven’s homecoming brings him a new challenge.
