“Legacy of War” with Ed Marohn

Ed Marohn served in the Vietnam War as a US Army captain in the 101st Airborne Division commanding a combat unit. That experience, and his volunteer work with vets who have PTSD, are the background for his new novel, which stems from an idea he had when he returned to modern day Vietnam in 2009. Legacy of War is set 30 years after the war ended, and is an action-adventure which begins when a new patient triggers psychologist John Moore’s traumatic memories of his last days of the Vietnam War. In the following talk, Marohn describes the novel and how it relates to the mental health symptoms of PTSD.
