In Thru the Eyes of a Warrior, author Merrill Vaughan opens the vault of memories to share a story that is both tender and unflinching. Through the eyes of Jack Delaney, a Vietnam veteran haunted by decades of unsent letters and fading photographs, readers are invited into a world where war does not end when the guns fall silent. It lingers in the quiet, in questions left unanswered, and in the hearts of those who return.
When Jack receives a letter from the granddaughter of a fallen comrade, the past thought he had buried begins to stir. What follows is a poignant blend of narrative and poetry. A literary reflection that honors the invisible wounds of war and the resilience of those who carry them. Vaughan’s prose is raw, lyrical, and deeply human, echoing the voices of veterans whose stories have long been untold.
From the jungles of Vietnam to the snow-covered stillness of New Hampshire, this book is more than a memoir; it is a tribute, a journey of healing, and a call to remember.
Thru the Eyes of a Warrior had been featured in the New York Times, Publishers’ Weekly, and Reader’s Digest. This is a testament to its growing impact and resonance.
Merrill Vaughan, a retired U.S. Air Force veteran and community educator, brings authenticity and grace to every page. Known for his Cold Case Investigators series, Vaughan now explores the depths of his own experiences, offering readers a powerful meditation on grief, brotherhood, and the courage to speak out.
Thru the Eyes of a Warrior is not just for veterans; it is for anyone who’s ever wondered what it means to carry the weight of the past while still moving forward—one page, one poem, one truth at a time.
