Sleeping Brook: A Fable of Our Time is an intelligent and sensitive memoir that ruminates on the moral and psychological history of America's last half-century, written by a wounded veteran of "the good war," with an impassioned renunciation of all wars. Wood provides a superbly written analysis of not only recent US history but of the country's soul. Edward Wood shares his eloquent and well-researched insights in the beautiful format of prose poetry, following the release of his first three books: On Being Wounded, Beyond the Weapons of our Fathers, and Worshipping the Myths of World War II. Born in the deep south, Ed Wood experienced the Great Depression and was seriously wounded in WWII in the liberation of France from the Nazis. Wood was also featured in the Emmy winning documentary, The Good Soldier, that was presented on the Bill Moyers Show.
