Our take on the Surviving an American Gulag

Surviving an American Gulag is a first-person memoir by Edward C. Patterson about his time in a US military stockade during the Vietnam War era. It is a prison memoir, not a combat account: the focus is on confinement, the people held alongside him, and how he got through it. It suits readers of military-era memoirs and prison narratives rather than readers looking for battle history or policy analysis. As an independently published personal account, it stands apart from the larger, heavily documented Vietnam memoirs by offering one man's narrow, inside view of the stockade system.
