Keep Your Head Down: Vietnam, the Sixties, and a Journey of Self-Discovery"We tend to write about what will not go away," Doug Anderson says in this candid, darkly humorous journey of self discovery. Beginning in 1943, in the pre civil rights South filled with tobacco and war stories, he recalls the difficult childhood that propels him into service in Vietnam. In 1967, having returned home deeply shaken by his experience as a combat medical corpsman, Anderson plunges into the heady freedoms and excesses of the sixties. His

"We tend to write about what will not go away," Doug Anderson says in this candid, darkly humorous journey of self-discovery. Beginning in 1943, in the pre-civil rights South filled with tobacco and war stories, he recalls the difficult childhood that propels him into service in Vietnam. In 1967, having returned home deeply shaken by his experience as a combat medical corpsman, Anderson plunges into the heady freedoms and excesses of the sixties. His downward spiral--through booze, substance abuse, and sex--brings him dangerously close to a total breakdown. Finally, in a return group visit to Vietnam in 2000, he meets with former enemies now become writers and poets. Moved by the realization that "the last time I saw these people they were trying to kill me," Anderson confronts the past and calls upon a story--this powerful story--to rebuild a life.

A great face wash!
Love this face wash. It works well with my oily sensitive skin. A great azleiac acid option. It helps with my redness. My skin doesn't fell stripped after using it.

Skin tone
I have found my face wash i’ve been doing skincare since I was 13. I’m now 25 and I can tell you. I finally found a face that I feel like has made a difference. I don’t have acne prone skin, but my pores and stuff. I’m very insecure about even though I’m probably just nitpicking, but I feel like this face wash has honestly helped so much with matting and making my face look flawless

Best cleanser for oily skin!!!!
I've been using Good Molecules products on my face for the past year and this brand truly does deliver quality for a good price. I purchased this cleanser about a month ago and started using it and fell in love with it. I accidentally left it at a friend's house this past weekend and immediately reordered when I got home. I've always dealt with oily skin issues. I use it in the morning and my face is significantly less oily the entire day. This is now a staple in my skincare routine! 😀
