The Vietnam War - An Ongoing American Tragedy
An important addition to your shelves, Suicide Wall will appeal strongly to the thousands of readers who have been affected by the Vietnam War - either directly through their participation or indirectly through family members or political involvement.

The Story of SUICIDE WALL
The Vietnam War took the lives of thousands of courageous young Americans. And it's still killing. Since the end of the war, tens of thousands of veterans have died by their own hands. WHY? This is the complex question examined by Portland, Oregon author Alexander Paul in his new novel, Suicide Wall. The reader is taken on a journey of two friends, one who served his country and is forever haunted, and one who avoided the war. Together on a weekend trip to Reno, they wrestle with their guilt and search for understanding - of the war, themselves, and each other. For the veteran, this trip is also a desperate attempt to win money to build a memorial wall - a 'suicide wall' - to remember those veterans who took their own life after the war.

If such a 'suicide wall' were built, it could be fully three times as large as the current Vietnam memorial - according to some estimates as many as 150,000 Vietnam veterans have died by their own hand following the war (Nam Vet, by Chuck Dean, Multnomah Press, 1990).

Since this novel's release, Alexander Paul has spoken with many veterans and their families affected by the tragedy of suicide - and who have been impacted by the powerful story in Suicide Wall.. One veteran, who wishes to remain anonymous, stated, "After reading Suicide Wall", I am determined never to have my name on such a memorial". This is a story that deeply touches its intended audience.

"Suicide Wall is a moving story of friendship and guilt, both personal and national. A thought-provoking read." - Phillip M. Margolin, best selling author of Gone But Not Forgotten.

"Alexander Paul address this tragic Vietnam legacy 'straight on,' in a way that is thoughtful and courageous." - Jack Estes, author of A Field of Innocence.
