Anthony Chibbaro is the author of The Dream Warrior: A Viet Nam War Veteran's Memoir.
According to the book description of The
Dream Warrior: A Viet Nam War Veteran's Memoir, “with elements of suspense and emotion, The Dream
Warrior is designed to capture the imagination as well as to provoke serious thought and reflection about one's life.
It continually asks the question: "Does a man have but one destiny?" How does a man or woman get to be the person
they become? What unknown forces determine what a person feels; what a person thinks; and what life a person gets to live?
How does a person handle their thoughts and feelings? How does a person handle the adversities and challenges that they face
throughout their life? And when a person reaches the "September of their years", what gives them satisfaction when
they look back at their life?”
