War is a nightmarish, ugly and horrific event that has plagued humankind from the very beginnings of history. During the first half of the twentieth century, wars clearly delineated the combatants between the forces of good and evil. The Vietnam War blurred these lines, but the end result was the same; too many good young men died following the orders of evil old men.
But another war was being fought on the streets of Italy and America, and it clearly defined and pitted the evil forces of La Cosa Nostra against the good soldiers of law enforcement; men sworn to uphold the law and protect the innocent.
Their story describes the very human side of these immigrant warriors, and recalls events that never made it into any history books or newspapers, and for good reason! Follow this family's story as their lives intertwine in American society, World War II and the Vietnam Conflict. You’ll laugh, cry and cringe as you enjoy one of the most exciting, and hilarious, unofficial histories of war and law enforcement of the 20th century.

Take a moment to read this account of history of the "family". Italian headstrong honor is represented, WWII accounts and the lost war Vietnam. Reading this book, I laughed till I cried, then I cried during accounts of Vietnam. My brother served in Vietnam and his accounts though different had same ending and pain. I highly recommend this novel.Product details

Legacies; An American Journey edition by Jim Ricca Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
This book got me from page 1 and held me through wars, passions, anger, guts, hilarious screw-ups, love, bravery and heartbreak – then put all that into the history of our uncles, fathers, sweethearts, and yes, our aunts & moms who stayed on the home front and then even us, the Vietnam generation. Legacies is a strong read that is at once very personal following 3 generations of a family and yet speaks for all who lived through or served or endured war. From Italy in WWII to an Italian-American coming home from Vietnam, this tells real soldiers’ and soldiers’ families stories. Returning uncles didn't tell me about their war, but I sure wish they told me about their insane SNAFUs. No Hollywood crap here. It’s powerful. Get it.
not bad
First off, the back cover description does not do this book justice. Jim Ricca had me laughing, crying and cringing as I read this really crazy but poignant history. I felt like hands came out of the book, grabbed me by the hair and began slapping me from every direction except where I thought it was coming from. Its a great set of stories and the book held my attention right up to the last page. But be warned, the last chapter details his return from overseas and the rude welcome he received from the hippies. It broke my heart because I now know how badly our Vietnam veterans were treated by our society upon their return. This is one of those books I shall keep and re-read in the years to come.
Take a moment to read this account of history of the "family". Italian headstrong honor is represented, WWII accounts and the lost war Vietnam. Reading this book, I laughed till I cried, then I cried during accounts of Vietnam. My brother served in Vietnam and his accounts though different had same ending and pain. I highly recommend this novel.
