Scroll down for Bruce Morton’s previous FootHills book, “Planet Mort”

These poems gracefully preserve raw experience. They capture everything it was to be an idealistic young man swept up in your country’s disillusionment and thrown into the backwaters of the Vietnam war.  These poems don’t preach at all but show what it means to be torn between conscience and duty through the dead-on details of the poet’s journey, details that resonate with honor and contrast with the present day where a coward “leader” considers soldiers of any ilk to be “suckers.”

— Greg Keeler, author of The Bluebird Run

Bruce Morton’s new poetry collection, Olive-Drab Khaki Blues, beautifully captures and evokes what it was like to be an unwilling soldier, serving in the U.S. Army along the Iron Curtain in West Germany during the Vietnam War. We readers also experience the speaker’s scouring of humanity to make himself fighting fit. Ditto for the full brunt of SNAFU and FUBAR. Highly recommended.

—Daniel Luther Olson, author of the novel Double Euchre
