It was the war that lasted ten thousand days. The war that inspired scores of songs. The war that sparked dozens of riots. And in this stirring chronicle, Pulitzer Prize- winning journalist Philip Caputo writes about our country's most controversial war -- the Vietnam War -- for young readers. From the first stirrings of unrest in Vietnam under French colonial rule, to American intervention, to the battle at Hamburger Hill, to the Tet Offensive, to the fall of Saigon, 10,000 Days of Thunder explores the war that changed the lives of a generation of Americans and that still reverberates with us today. Included within 10,000 Days of Thunder are personal anecdotes from soldiers and civilians, as well as profiles and accounts of the actions of many historical luminaries, both American and Vietnamese, involved in the Vietnam War, such as Richard M. Nixon, General William C. Westmoreland, Ho Chi Minh, Joe Galloway, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Lyndon B. Johnson, and General Vo Nguyen Giap. Caputo also explores the rise of Communism in Vietnam, the roles that women played on the battlefield, the antiwar movement at home, the participation of Vietnamese villagers in the war, as well as the far-reaching impact of the war's aftermath. Caputo's dynamic narrative is highlighted by stunning photographs and key campaign and battlefield maps, making 10,000 Days of Thunder THE consummate book on the Vietnam War for kids.

Wolf Larsen has proudly completed one of the most bizarre novels ever written. In Ten Thousand Penises in Your Ear there is no plot and no main characters. This novel is the whole crazy world under the sun in one little book. Every phrase is alive with a screaming chaos, every page drips with a flowing sensuality, and every word thunders with violence. Ten Thousand Penises in Your Ear is a novel with a rhythm that jumps back and forth between a 12 tone Schoenberg scale to wild and crazy and fast free jazz. This book is as violent and chaotic as our planet. If all the world's maniacs were to write a novel together that book would resemble Ten Thousand Penises in Your Ear.
