Dance of the Chameleon, A Vietnam Medic's Story is an eyewitness account of both heroic and shameful events occurring during the Vietnam War. Decorated medic, James Squadrito, served in three venues in Vietnam where the experiences he recounts in the book were far too common: heroin use among soldiers, sex-trafficking of Vietnamese young women and racial infighting. Jim, who, chameleonlike, changed his colors from the spoiled frat boy to a productive citizen, recounts his personal journey of growth from cynicism to spirituality. A 3M executive gave him the break he needed to turn his life around. Jim Squidrito discusses post-service challenges and successes with host Jim Fausone.
