Thousand Yard Stare Gary Tillman

The thousand yard stare is the description of a fatigued, combat hardened soldier staring into space, lost in thought-anywhere but the present. The Thousand Yard Stare utilizes this theme to look back over decades of the past to the Vietnam War-A war that lasted 19 years and caused the deaths of over 58,000 American lives. These are the combat memoirs and stark, black-and-white photographs from the peak of the Vietnam War-September 1968 to October 1969.
