About the Author
Fred A. Wilcox has been a veteran’s advocate, environmentalist, and scholar on the Vietnam War for the past thirty years. His book Waiting for an Army to Die: The Tragedy of Agent Orange helped break the story of the effects of chemical warfare on US veterans of the Vietnam War when it was first published in 1983. He is the recipient of numerous awards for his scholarship, including the Four Chaplains Humanitarian Award presented to him on two occasions by the Vietnam Veterans of America. He lives in Ithaca, New York, where he is an associate professor of writing at Ithaca College.
