THE LAST CASUALTY OF WAR

As American troops return from two wars, the public sighs with relief then quickly forgets. But, for some, the war lives on and their casualty is unrecorded.

“It has been said the last casualty of war is innocence,” said Steven W. Horn, author and veteran. “Conflict affects everyone, from supply clerk to infantryman and those closest to them. A tour of duty is a relatively short period of time in the life of a veteran, but the impacts are forever. War changes your perspective and steals your innocence.”

Horn’s compelling debut novel, Another Man’s Life, depicts the reality of Vietnam wartime atrocities intertwined with the guilt that still threatens innocent lives more than three decades later. In an age where many skeptics question the government’s adherence to truth, Horn’s storytelling will shock even the most ardent critic when they read of the political betrayal and ruthless brutality of a U.S. president who convincingly lied to both Congress and the American people.

Horn uses Another Man’s Life to depict much more than the tormented life of a returning veteran. The book examines the complex relationship between a man with a secret and the woman with whom he seeks atonement. His mission of reparation takes him from Wyoming to a farm in Iowa with a secret that threatens the presidency. Horn said, “As in life, the novel crosses genre lines as it moves between the past and the present in a fast-paced, suspenseful story that keeps the reader guessing.”

The book is being released at a time when thousands of veterans are beginning the difficult process of re-entering main stream society. “It’s very gratifying to see the positive public response currently given to our returning troops. This wasn’t the case after Vietnam and as a result, I believe an entire generation of veterans suffered,” Horn said.

A decorated Vietnam veteran, Horn writes from experience. From political appointee to university professor and college dean his unique background helps craft his writing. He lives in Wyoming.

Reviews

 

“ANOTHER MAN’S LIFE is a powerful and factual novel that serves as a wake-up call in the post 9-11 world: When flawed leaders implement policy, the grisly tentacles thread their way into the most innocent of lives. Author Steven Horn takes us to the edge of obsessive guilt before delivering us to greatness. This is a powerful book! We can only hope that a copy rests

on the President’s desk.”

- W. Michael Gear and Kathleen O’Neal Gear Authors of RAISING ABLE

“The weight of the world is far too much for one man to bear. “ANOTHER MAN’S LIFE” is a novel from Steven W. Horn, as he focuses on Eden Cain, a man scarred by his time at war and the terror that he faced down in the process. For decades he has mused it, and has set himself on ending his own life, in spite of the few joys he has found. “ANOTHER MAN’S LIFE” is a thoughtful and recommended pick, not to be overlooked.”

- MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

“ANOTHER MAN’S LIFE grabs the reader and won’t let go. The book is one you can’t put down. I loved it. A lot of truth in a fictional story!

You have written a winner.”

- Thom Nicholson author of 15 MONTHS IN SOG

“What a powerful story! I didn’t sleep much last night, and probably won’t for a week or so. You bring back so many memories … damn you. The story is absolutely compelling, well paced back and forth, and as they say in the trade “a page turner.” I didn’t want to put it down,

nor did I want it to end.”

- Peter R. Decker author of SAVING THE WEST
