“Return to Eden”
Veteran/author/actor Tucker Smallwood connects his experiences as an Army Airborne soldier in Vietnam recounted in his book with those of Tim O’Brien.
Tucker Smallwood served in the U.S. Army Infantry, Airborne from 1967-1970. He commanded a Mobile Advisory Team during the Vietnam War and was severely wounded in action. After recovering from his injuries, Smallwood moved to New York to study acting, establishing a career as a performer on Broadway (Mahalia), in film (Contact, The Cotton Club) and on television (The X-Files, Space: Above and Beyond). Smallwood’s essays reflecting upon his military experience have appeared in magazines, but this is the first published collection.
